October
NO MATTER WHAT your circumstances may be, you can find Joy in
My Presence. On some days Joy is generously strewn along your life-
path, glistening in the sunlight. On days like that, being content is as
simple as breathing the next breath or taking the next step. Other days
are overcast and gloomy; you feel the strain of the journey, which
seems endless. Dull gray rocks greet your gaze and cause your feet to
ache. Yet Joy is still attainable. Search for it as for hidden treasure.
Begin by remembering that I have created this day; it is not a chance
occurrence. Recall that I am present with you whether you sense My
Presence or not. Then, start talking with Me about whatever is on your
mind. Rejoice in the fact that I understand you perfectly, and I know
exactly what you are experiencing. As you continue communicating
with Me, your mood will gradually lighten. Awareness of My marvelous
Companionship can infuse Joy into the grayest day.
Surely you have granted him eternal blessings
and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
PSALM 21 : 6
... and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure.
PROVERBS 2 : 4
