Whispers of Rest Book Club Video 2 of 6: Choose Joy: Reclaim Your Self-Worth

By Bonnie Gray • June 12, 2017 • Leave a Comment

 

Choosing joy feels vulnerable, doesn’t it? And if we were honest, we might even confess that we feel guilty for choosing joy.

But, open your heart. Hear your Heavenly Father whisper, Choose joy. Unfortunately, there are wrong messages – critical voices we carry – that might even say it’s selfish to choose joy – unless we feel like we’ve earned it or deserve it.  Even though these critical voices say joy is selfish, it isn’t. Joy is God’s gift for you.

Joy becomes your heart’s response to God when you reclaim your rightful place in this world, as someone valued, seen, and important: His beloved child

“Every good and perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights.” James 1:17

Yes! Your Heavenly Father wants to give you each and every good and perfect gift! Listen to Jesus whisper –

“These things I have spoken to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.” John 15:11

It’s so exciting! We are beginning a Part Two of my Book Whispers of Rest: Reclaim Your Self-Worth! This Week #2 devotionals in the book gives you permission from God’s Word to enjoy and choose a new gift from God’s heart to yours. Starting with joy!
