Looking For Joy? Try Giving Some!

There have been times when life seemed so meaningless. As God puts me through these trials, I will sometimes look towards the heavens and ask Him to replace my sadness with joy. He sits quietly, for at the time, it is serving the purpose of the trial for me to be sad.

I have discovered an amazing way to receive joy even when God refuses to share his with me. As I have consecrated and matured spiritually, I have become one in spirit with God.

One day I was driving home from work, feeling down due to what I have been going through. It suddenly hit me, that His joy is also my joy. I started praising him and loving Him. I started singing to him and telling him how wonderful he is. As He delighted in what I was singing, I felt my joy return. And it stayed for the rest of the day. So, when you feel down, when you feel like things just couldn’t get any worse, starting loving God. Praise Him, sing to Him, tell Him how much you love Him. Your joy will return and things will not seem so bad.
