7. Hold On To Joy
It may seem almost impossible at times, but we must
not let the gloom around us overpower the joy within
our hearts. Joy is not like happiness. Joy can exist
side by side with sorrow because joy is like hope and
faith and love. Joy does not depend on our
circumstances but on our attitude. It depends on
whom we are holding on to, and we know that it is
only in God we rely upon.
Whenever the situation allows, do some things that
remind you of your joy and hope. You can listen to
some inspirational or uplifting music. You can read
your favorite book. If there are children in the house,
you can play with them and even share in their
innocent laughter. We are all God's children after all.
And children will remind us that there is always grace
in the present moment God has given us.
Now may the God of hope fill you
with all joy and peace in believing,
that you may abound in hope, in the
power of the Holy Spirit.
– Romans 15, WEBBE
