Joy Robber

Greggy-D There is no reason for a "blah" day. Today may have felt that way, but there is no reason for it. There is plenty to be excited about. I take joy in the sheer fact that I am heir to the throne; a son of God; His creation... sometimes my joy is still a decision. If I don't decide upon it I may leave room for my joy being stolen by the deceitfulness of the Evil One. I give in. Believe his lies, but truth prevails and I decide on joy. Life's "mediocrity" is no more than a lack of vision... a miopia, focused only on the shorthand and not the eternal. My purpose in life is bigger than I can realize on any given day or series of days strung together. I am loved eternally and infinitely. So much that my creator (let alone that He also created EVERYTHING)... gave his own life so that I could be with Him.

Jesus, I am yours. You are the joy giver, and it is you whom I decide upon.
