Joy Joy down in my heart

This morning has been great. That's all I want to say. Got up at 7:15am took a nice shower, got to my 8am class on time and in great spirits. Heard an amazing message in chapel which lifted my spirits even more. Today I feel joy, I'm not just happy, but I feel joy in today.

All this joy, all this contentment, everything that has happened just in today's short few hours of it's arriving, belongs to praising God. Praising Him for this joy that I have especially today, not sure what for, I am ecstatic that God has allowed me to wake up this morning and feel joy. I'm not tired, I have work, not dreading it as usual, I can't explain it other than just raw joy.

I am aware however that this joy may become interrupted, the day has not run it's course. However if ever something does happen to go awry in today's joy that I can keep in mind the praise I am writing about currently.

Psalm 16:11 "You will show me the path of life; in your presence is the fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

God is present, he is joy. I praise him for allowing me to feel his joy a little more than usual today. I wish I felt it so intensely everyday, but unfortunately as we humans do, we take our eyes off the Lord and then we do not feel him so easily. But today is a good day, and just like any other day, he is right here, but today for some reason I feel the joy of my Father just a little more than others.

All to God
