Sometimes I find myself dismal. Dismal and looking.But not looking where I should. Searching for joy -- an uplifted soul.
I catch myself looking... around. At my circumstances. My life. The grind. And guess what? That never cures dismal.
If I really wanted to find joy -- no matter where I am or what I'm doing -- I need to find Jesus in the midst. I need Jesus-spectacles.
Because if I can just see His Hand, His presence, His Spirit at work in me or around me and give Him thanks, then joy comes.
So, if you want to smile, laugh, and, well, be jovial -- find Jesus in your situation. He has not deserted you, no matter how you feel.
Find Jesus. Gratitude flies. Peace overcomes. Joy abounds.
