The dictionary discribes joy as: A feeling of great pleasure and happiness.
I truly believe that being joyful is one of the key things to get closer to God. And even just to give a smile to a stranger can change your life and theirs.
I let people and things steal my joy for way to long and I knew it. Only now on this amazing journey I finally realized that nobody has the power to steal my joy unless I gave them that power.
God showed me a picture and I am pretty sure that you can say that it is joy. I saw a wide open field with long green grass. There is a light breeze whispering through the land. I first heard a grumbling sound of thunder and then the next moment I saw a hurd of wild horses running through the open field. Free! It looked like they were so joyful and warm hearted and did not have a care in the world.
John 16:22 " So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy."
I pray that my Father will remind me that I have the power to be joyful and by being joyful, people will see Jesus's light shining through me.
