In the past, one of the lies we bought into was that the party life was where the greatest enjoyment of life was to be found. Later, caught in the slavery of our addiction, we found out just how wrong we had been. The good news is that it is not too late to have a life that gives us joy. In fact, it's the life that God created us to live. As we surrender our will and our life into God's care, we have the assurance of ever-deepening joy and well-being coming alive in us.
And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. (Ecclesiastes 5:19 NLT)
For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17 NLT)
As we allow ourselves to be embraced by the love of God throughout each day, fear and insecurity will slip away and the ability to enjoy work, family, nature, and recreation will fill us up. We will have the ability to enjoy life to the full.
Prayer: Loving God, Thank You for calling me to a life that is filled with goodness, peace, and joy. I surrender my life and this day into Your hands and trust You for ongoing healing. I give thanks for the ability to enjoy all the good gifts You are giving me. Amen
