JOY

Snippet
We have Something to do, we have Someone to Love, and we have Something to 
look forward to, therefore we choose joy in Christ.
Scripture
 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! 5 Let everyone see that 
you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon 
Philippians 4:4,5 NLT
Song
Joy Rend Collective
We're choosing celebration
Breaking into freedom
You're the song
You're the song
Of our hearts
We cast aside our shadows
Trust You with our sorrows
You're the song
You're the song
Of our hearts
We're dancing to the rhythm of Your heart
We're rising from the ashes to the stars
You're the joy joy joy lighting my soul
The joy joy joy making me whole
Though I'm broken, I am running
Into Your arms of love
The pain will not define us
Joy will reignite us
You're the song
You're the song
Of our hearts
The dark is just a canvas
For Your grace and brightness
You're the song
You're the song
Of our hearts
We're dancing to the rhythm of Your heart
We're rising from the ashes to the stars
You're the joy joy joy lighting my soul
The joy joy joy making me whole
Though I'm broken, I am running
Into Your arms of love
[x2]
You're the joy
The song in my heart
The hope of my soul
In the shadows
In the sorrows
In the desert
When the pain hits
You are constant
Ever-present
You're the song of my heart
[x2]
You're the joy joy joy lighting my soul
The joy joy joy making me whole
Though I'm broken, I am running
Into Your arms of love
Into Your arms

Sentence Prayer
Father, thank you for giving us joy!  Oh help us to experience it all day 
long.  Let us face the day and choose to focus on whatever brings a 
smile to our face, and ignore the other stuff.  We want a good life Lord,
help us to choose it! For You say, "This is a sacred day before our Lord. 
Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength" 
-(Nehemiah 8:10 ) What a beautiful way You work.  Just like lifting 
weights makes us physically stronger; each person, thing, or event that 
we choose to smile at today Lord, makes us mentally and spiritually 
stronger.  -In Jesus name, Amen
