Feeling joyful 100% of the time is not realistic.
We get hurt. We lose someone we love. There is physical pain.
Choosing joy means we are refusing to let the hurt, pain and anger consume us to an unhealthy, destructive point.
It means we trust that whatever it is we are going through, we are going to be ok because of the God who holds our future.
It means we aren't focusing on the hurt, pain and anger to magnify it more, but maybe instead focusing on what we already have.
Does it take the hurt, pain and anger away? No...not right away at least. But it allows for our minds, hearts and souls to put our focus elsewhere that will hopefully bring positive, proactive, and healthy change to our situations.
