Day 28: Pure Joy
The Little Child
SMILES & LAUGHS
because her every need is taken care of.
She isn't anxious about anything.
Therefore,
she LIVES IN THE MOMENT.
She is FREE to just be herself
without
second guessing her every move
because
she EMBRACES LIFE
as she sees the JOY in everything
because
she knows that she is
LOVED.
The Grown Up
SMILES & LAUGHS
because
your every need is taken care of.
You aren't anxious about anything~
“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—
whether you have enough food & drink, or enough clothes to wear.
Isn’t life more than food, & your body more than clothing?
Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your
heavenly FATHER feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to HIM than they are?
Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?" (Matthew 2:25-27).
Therefore
YOU LIVE IN THE MOMENT~
“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries.
Today’s trouble is enough for today" (Matthew 2:34).
YOU are FREE to just be yourself~
"For YOU formed my inward parts; YOU knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully & wonderfully made.
Wonderful are YOUR works; my soul knows it very well" (Psalm 139:13-14).
Without second guessing your every move~
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge HIM, And HE will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Because
YOU EMBRACE LIFE~
"Delight yourself in the LORD, & HE will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4).
As
You see the JOY in everything~
"Be Joyful always; Pray continuously; Give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is GOD'S will for you in CHRIST JESUS" (I Thessalonians 5:16-18)
because
You know
that
YOU ARE LOVED~
“How great is the love the FATHER has lavished on us,
that we should be called children of GOD!” (1 John 3:1).
Therefore
Little Child
SMILE & LAUGH
because
“The JOY of the LORD is ________'s (put your name)
strength” (Nehemiah 8:10)
And embrace today
by
FASTING from
the complexity of life
by being HIS CHILD
and breathing in
the simplicity of
HIS JOY
into every moment
and just
"LOOK UP CHILD"
