Are you a joyful person, or do you find it difficult to feel or find joy in your life?
I guess we all go through times when we find it difficult to find joy in our lives, when events or circumstances conspire to make life challenging for us.
Maybe you find it easy to pull yourself out of depression during these times, or maybe it’s a constant struggle for you. Maybe we need to fight – fight for joy and our spiritual sanity, by giving thanks to God for everything, no matter what it may be. After all God has a plan for us in everything we do.
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
In the above bible verses, God tells us to be grateful in every circumstance, so next time you feel depression creeping in, occupy your heart with a list of blessings before your heart (and mind) start filling up with morbid thoughts. It’s a great way to fight for your joy!
