Philippians 4:4-9 musings…

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:4-9 (NIV)

You Are… JOYFUL!

It's that glorious hope that wells up inside you. It's that trust and belief that everything is not just going to alright, but it's going to be wonderful, extraordinary, radiant, delightful, blissful and exhilarating. It's the rejoicing that happens in your soul and spirit. It's the uplifting that encouragement brings. It's the intertwining of happiness and hope. The colliding of feelings and trust. It's a gift and a choice. It's being full of joy.
