Joy - Today's Daily Word

I live each day as the joyful child of God that I am.

I give myself permission to be joyful, because there is always a gladness within my soul. Gladness is mine because the spirit of God is expressing life, love, wisdom, and so much more through me.

I am a creation of God, and my joy cannot be held back. I love to laugh, to sing, and to praise God. I love others' laughter, songs, and praise to God. Life is about living joyfully and thankfully.

Riding with others in a train, bus, car, or elevator, I may not suddenly burst into song, but in my heart I am singing a silent song of gladness. It is possible to laugh, sing, and praise God within, which just naturally emerges from me as joyful words and actions.

"Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises."--Psalm 98:4
