Joy
Joy springs up from within me today.
True
joy comes from trusting God. It is the fruit of my spiritual practice
and the awareness that I am more than my physical self and the sum of my
experiences. Joy does not depend upon the variables of wealth,
circumstances, or possessions. Rather, it comes from a consciousness
that creates fertile ground for joy to grow.
Pausing for a quiet moment, I imagine a fountain. The beautiful, captivating pattern of flowing water makes soothing, rhythmic sounds that encourage my stillness. I picture brilliant sunlight glistening on water droplets as they fall into a radiating pattern in the pool below. Relaxed and receptive, I now welcome the joy springing up in me.

I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.—John 15:11
