They remind us to do something for someone or give someone a gift. Giving with a joyful heart always sends you into a higher place of joyful vibration. We are at our best when we're givers.
They remind us to say thank you, for anything and everything. Thank you for my new nail polish. Thank you for my sweet pets, for the flowers on my porch, that I have groceries in my refrigerator and dishes in my cabinets. Thank you for companionship. Thank you for love. Thank you that the sun is shining today, or thank you that this rainy day put me in a relaxed, chilled place. Meditate on the good things and more good things will come to you (Phil 4:6-8). The more you say thank you, the more you find you have for which to say thank you. Before long, you'll be so overwhelmed with gratitude that you just won't be able to stop!
They remind us to listen to music, exercise, dance. Our bodies were created for movement, and our souls for celebration. You may not feel like getting started, but once you do, you won't regret it.
They remind us to do that thing you've been dreading. Once you're on the other side of it, you'll find that it wasn't so bad after all. Let it off your chest. Don't allow anything to hold bondage on your soul. If something is holding you back, break it. Free yourself.
They remind us to move forward in faith knowing that everything is already taken care of. Everything has already been worked out for you. The only thing you have to do is choose joy, right now. We were given THIS very moment to live in joy. This one simple act of obedience is one of the most powerful.
Entertain the feeling of joy and more joy will come to you. All you need to have this very moment is your next breath. If God has given you that, you can rest in peace that he will always give you everything you need!
