Keep Your Joy

If you're in a good place spiritually and emotionally, stay there, because you're probably in a joyful place. Don't let anybody steal your joy. It took too long to get there, especially since you've more than likely been through alot in your life. Being joyful is not worth giving up when you finally get there. It probably took much pain that now you're convinced to where your quiet strength comes from. God was the one who got you through it and He is what helped get you to where you are now. There is no giving that up for nothing, because it came at a high price. James 1:12 says, "blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him." 

So, being joyful is being blessed.

When you're joyful you don't let every little thing bother you. When you're joyful, perfection means something totally different to you -- it doesn't exist. And when you're joyful there is a youthfulness about you, it doesn't matter how old you are. It takes much joy to follow what James 1:2 says, which is: "count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness." That's why the joyful can smile a sincere smile and have a calm spirit even when chaos and hell may be going on around them. They're at peace when there's a storm in front of them. If you have joy, you have something that is cherished. 

Keep your joy, you're on to something.

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

I feel free

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. How are you feeling today? What kind of head space have you been in lately? I ask, because I'm just wondering if anybody feels like me -- free like me. Free as an eagle. Free as can be. That's right, out with doing business the old stale way and in with a fresh new operation. It's a shifting happening in the atmosphere of Sharon's life and I'm moving on to the big and awesome things God has for me. What  do you say for yourself? What are you speaking over your life? What it is for you?  For me, I am no longer afraid to go out in the deep end. I am no longer afraid to fly higher, I am no longer concerned about what I have or do not have, and I am no longer concerned about what anybody thinks or says. Who the heck cares anymore? I don't. Because God tells me he doesn't give me a spirit of fear or timidity ( 2 Timothy 1 :7) , but He gives me a spirit of love, confidence, power, self-control, and
