Joy unspeakable!

There is just something about ‘joy’, whether it is meditating on this important topic; sharing your ‘joy’ with others or just needing some ‘joy’ in your life; a dose of joy is what we desire, for when we have it it will not go unnoticed.

We want joy in our life because it is in expression of happiness. We want joy in our lives because it attracts others. However, how can we be joyful when there is so much to worry about? How can we keep the joy and express it instead of experiencing a joy that has limits? Or, how can we make a decision to be joyful and stay joyful no matter how ugly the storms may seem in our life and so on?

The only way to answer these questions is by truly defining what true joy really means. Just the word itself automatically makes you think of something good or gives you a great sense of feeling. Therefore, if that is the case then why can’t we be joyful more often? If you are a joyful person, great, keep the joy flowing. But, if you often lose your joy even for a split second, it is time to ask what it is that we can do to only express unspeakable joy?

Joy is power, for it is a gift from God. It is the overflow of the divine life in us. This overflow of divine life is an energy, which comes from good thoughts that produce good things, which give you, joy. Furthermore, our emotions are real and they are from God and all that is from God is Good. Thus our emotions can either make us or break us for it is full of energy/life. So if our way of thinking towards a situation is not positive in other words has no divine insight, then we will not have a happy outcome and cannot fully express joy. For joy can only be experience by learning to perceive the real meaning of the dilemma that you are facing.

For example, if you are being turned down on every job application you’ve submitted and every job interview doesn't seem hopeful, do not let this bring discouragement, but rather learn to see the positive side to it. The good side is that the perfect employment is waiting for you. Yet, our intellectual mind can quickly give us a thought that seems so “right” that makes us have all the great reasons to feel distress. Such as, ‘I’m a failure and will never get this job’ or ‘I knew he/she wasn’t going to hire me by the look on their face’… Yet if this happens, as Minister Andrée D. Dagba would say, “embrace that feeling” and let your light shine.

For after the stormy rain the sun must shine. By making a decision to see this situation in a positive way, you will find joy in return, for unspeakable joy will speak out for you. The important thing to ask is, ‘what is our frustration going to solve’? So remember to recognize your hard work and deep within trust and know that God fulfills all of our every need, which is really a desire because as our Shepard we shall not be in want.

The truth is we desire and deserve happiness. We also desire and deserve to understand and walk in true happiness. Yet, if finding joy or keeping it seems impossible then it is because we are stopping our own blessings from happening. The more we observe our situations in a false insight, with no hope or substance, the less joy we have.

Today, look deep within, where all your answers reside. It is not the outcome of your success or people in your life that can put a smile on your face and make you feel great. Better yet it is the your inner quality of knowing that all that you are and all that you came to bring on this planet earth is from divine essence, which is Good. And that is your joy.

Until then, make it a productive One,
