Joy

Today I read a passage in a book that talks abt joy. God's plan for us is to be joyful always, but there are times in life when we feel that we are just surviving and not living life. Talk about divine intervention, it felt as if God was speaking to me. To think that I just causually talked to God what should I bring to read today during my travelling time, and God directed my attention to a book that was stacked below a huge pile of books. Then I was directed to a particular page 47 and it was the chapter on Joy.

And man! I really do need that Joy to be re-injected into my life now. I feel that life is so boring now and so mundane and I am just going through the motion. I feel that my life is slowly ebbing away with no time to stop to smell the roses. Things begin to lose their significance and stuff begin to lose their importance because I feel under-valued and not treasured. I keep having the wrong mental frame that why the world is all about everyone else but me. Then I realise that I fail to remember that to God the Father, it is all about me all the time. This is because He loves me and treasures me all the time. What really struck me was the ALL THE TIME part. Even when we feel down or we do the wrong stuff, God still treasures us. I know I have been teaching Sunday school kids this stuff all the time, but I sometimes forget to walk the talk.

So hopefully I would pick myself up and face the giants with God behind me all the time. And no matter how the odds are stacked against me I would emerge victorious and joyful always. It is all about attitude and I would have that right attitude all the time.
