Rejoice in the Lord always; let His joy fill your heart and overflow into your life.
There was a season in my life when joy felt elusive. I had tied my happiness to things like career success and relationships, which often left me feeling empty. One day, I stumbled upon Philippians 4:4, which challenged me to rejoice in the Lord always. Slowly, I started shifting my focus from my circumstances to God’s unchanging love. I began starting my mornings by thanking Him for the smallest blessings: the sunrise, the sound of birds, even the ability to breathe. Over time, His joy replaced my anxiety. I learned that true joy comes from trusting His promises and walking in His presence daily.
Philippians 4:4 - Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Nehemiah 8:10 - The joy of the Lord is your strength.
Psalm 16:11 - You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
John 15:11 - These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
