The Season of Happiness

Papa showed me that He wants me to be joyful all the time. My circumstances should never determine my mood. The Kingdom is what should determine my mood. I'm not saying that we can't have times of mourning when things go wrong, but joy springs from a joyful heart. Life will be fuller, more exciting, and brighter if we see it through the eyes of the Kingdom.

I am learning to cultivate a joyful heart. If I choose to be happy when I would normally be sad, I am one step closer to Papa. It's much harder for me to connect with God when I let sadness overwhelm me. When I realize His love for me, I can't help but be joyful.
