I chose joy.
Mountainous joy.
How about you? Why walk around sorrowful, because things may not be perfect? Why not enjoy the life we have? Some people want to be other people, they want someone else's life because they think it's better than theirs. Crazy, but true. What they don't see are all the imperfections and the flaws that other people have. Remember, Jesus was and is the only perfect person. No other perfect person has ever walked the earth. So why not just cherish what we have in our own lives, appreciate who we are, and how God made us? There's so much joy in that and so much to go around that it doesn't hurt us to extend joy and to receive it. Love and rejoice in you. You're wonderfully made. You're good enough.
"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-17). Don't let anyone steal your joy. Feel free to give it away. It always comes back.
