A joyful heart

Have you ever met someone that you would call joyful? Did you find yourself infected with this joy? Did you allow yourself to give in to this feeling and just go with it?
While joy can and does define our characters, it cannot be forced. Joy just happens when we open ourselves to it.

So many people have lost their joy...had it suppressed...or have never fully experienced it. Day to day living can leave us tired,hurting and broken. True joy is an external expression of praise and thanksgiving to God. It is the worship of our Creator God. We can live our lives with joy in our hearts because of His ultimate victory over the world. Praise is the overflow of a joyous heart.

It has been said that true worship happens when heaven hears our praise and comes down to kiss the earth. Greet each and every day with a joyful heart and you will be amazed!
