Why don’t you join me….

Think about the things that make you laugh. And laugh!

Spend some time remembering moments, days, seasons where your heart was happy. And savor them.

When you find yourself struggling let God’s Word change your thinking and filter your thoughts through these:

“If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. ‘This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.’” John 15:10–12

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence, there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 16:11

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Romans 15:13

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things, there is no law.” Galatians 5:22–23

“Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!” Psalm 95:1–2

God’s Word gives you a filter to take your thoughts and feelings through. As you do you see God come alive. Dead bones live again. Mourning turns dancing. Only God gives beauty for ashes.

Honestly, life is going to include things that we hate, pet peeves, disappointments, and feel much more serious than hating Ranch dressing. Regardless, we get to chose what we are going to do with these things. Or we can just go with our feelings and let those things decide for us. Can’t go both ways.

Either you believe that God is or He is not the transforming Source for joy & favor. He alone brings the power to deliver all good things.

I want to laugh and enjoy my life.

I want an undeniable, unshakeable joy.

I want to give that to you!

May God stir up a new joy, irresistible desire, & unquenchable hunger for all of Him and a life that you love.

Laugh, love & live,
