Monday Morning Happiness and Joy

Wearing this sweatshirt to school makes me happy.

Red nails make me happy.

My wedding board on Pinterest makes me happy.

The fact that I will be able to drink coffee in just five short days (after fasting for nearly a month) makes me happy.

Spending time with Jesus this morning makes me happy joyful.

Those random slices of happiness can fade away, but joy cannot. Happiness is simply an emotion. It comes and goes. Joy is everlasting. Nothing can take that away; it's constant. Jesus gives us happiness joy.

"...your joy no one will take from you."

{Jesus, John 16:22, NKJV}

"Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" 

{Paul, Philippians 4:4, NKJV}

CHOOSE JOY.

I'm choosing to be joyful this crisp Monday morning. The Lord has a full supply to give me. Thank You, Jesus. What makes you happy and joyful today?
