Have you had your JOY JUICE today? I can tell by the expression on your face
whether you’ve had your daily recommended dosage!
There’s an
obvious connection between what’s in the heart and what shows up on the
face. Not so long ago, I was quietly
brooding over something that had just happened.
I was sure that I was hiding it well, because I was not talking about
it. I was SURELY thinking about it,
though. I was hurt and little angry…but
I wasn’t going to let on to anyone that I was not “joyful”. After all, I’m the JOY JUICE lady! I’m supposed to “rejoice in the
Lord…ALWAYS”---just like I tell YOU to do!
Certain
that I was masking my feelings, I ran into a dear friend who I had not seen in
weeks. Her first question to me was,
“What’s wrong?” “Nothing!” I quickly
responded….not so truthfully. “Oh, yes,
there is. I can see it on your face.”
Immediately,
I broke out in a grin because I knew that this dear friend had been able to
peer straight into my heart. Without
going into specifics, I asked her to pray for me and my attitude. Only God could move my thoughts from the
upsetting situation to other things which would lead me to find JOY in Him.
Next time we’re
going through one of those difficult times, let’s open our Bible to the book of
Psalms and meditate on David’s words:
“I sought the LORD,
and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to him
are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.”
May your facial expression
RADIATE His JOY!
