joy

Joy.  I received an email from a friend last week that reminded me that there is a joy in doing God's work.

We think joy is found when we do what we want.  That is a form of taking - sort of a "I will do what I want, and that will make me happy." 

There is a different kind of joy that comes when we do God's work.  When we give ourselves to him, believing that the greater joy comes when our priority is no longer what we want to do but what he wants. 

Not my will but thine be done.  Missing some joy in your life?  Ask God who you can touch for him today, get about doing it, and see if you don't find the joy rekindled.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
