Joy Does Come

I woke up this morning, with a spring in my step. As the sun filtered through my voile curtains in my bedroom, the mustard yellow walls seemed to respond with a warm, bright, happy glow. I leaped out of bed, just thankful to God for another day.

Yesterday's weather had been a sharp contrast. A dull, grey morning. I had almost literally dragged myself from the comfort protection of my summer duvet. There certainly had been no spring in my step!

Two mornings, two differences! Doesn't the beauty and contrasts of nature teach us the simple principles of Godly living? Have you ever considered that in the same way the weather can change from day to day or even hour to hour, that your circumstances can positively change too? Why do you lose hope?

Our Heavenly Father carefully watches over us. Our grey circumstances can change to a bright one. Hold on till the morning. Morning has broken. Joy cometh in the morning. Stay blessed!
