Welcome to Friday Food! A little bit of food for your soul…every Friday. For the next few months we are looking at “Downloads from Heaven”. In these “downloads” we are contemplating what it would be like if we got a message from God (however you understand God). We will be exploring messages from God about pain and suffering and healing and and blessing and love and peace other topics too! When you read these “downloads” you will notice that they are in quotes. This is to help you think from your heart NOT your head. Don’t get caught up in whether or not God, (however you understand God) actually said these things. Just let them speak to your heart. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Here is today’s download:
Be Filled With Joy

“You can choose to be filled with joy. Any situation that seems contrary to what you want or expect of your life can be transformed. So, clear your heart and mind of the clutter of fear and anger and let joy rise up. Look for me in your most desolate moments. Look beyond pain and sadness for beyond all that you will find joy rising up like a spring from the ground, through your feet and straight to your heart.”
When our minds and hearts are distracted by fear or anger we forget about the joy that is around us. Therefore, it is important to take some time daily and let joy rise up within you. It only takes a few seconds. Even in your sadness, you can experience joy. Have you ever been able to experience even in your sadness? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
just what i did this a.m. started the day a mess and now ok – went back to bed, allowed joy to course through, got forgiven for distrubing god’s peace and am on with the day!
