FINDING JOY {ONE WORD UPDATE}

My One Word for 2018 is joy. I want to cultivate joy in my life. I want to remember the joy of salvation and find true joy in Jesus.

Now that we are halfway through 2018, I thought it was the perfect time to revisit our One Words or goals and see how we are doing.

Here is what I have been doing to focus on joy right now:

• memorizing Scriptures on joy

• doing the Write the Word Cultivate Joy journal every Wednesday

• pausing to remembering that through it all, God is my joy

• pausing to notice the things in life that God has blessed me with

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.

Philippians 4:4-5

Remembering that the Lord is near helps me to rejoice in Him. He is near. He is near in the good times, near in the stressful times, near in the bad times, and near in the tired times. He is always near to me. That brings me joy.
