Have you ever been around a person who is so full of joy that you can’t help but smile? Not the person who is overly happy and makes you want to puke…this is entirely different. Joy just radiates from them. You can’t help but feel the Spirit well up inside you, saying, “They have life to the full. Embrace me like they have.”
When I was in Ireland, I met one such person. I remember being astounded at her story (what little I know of it) and her joy, her thankfulness was genuine.
But then I forgot.
Until I spent a few minutes today logging her footage. Simply watching her on my computer, listening to the joy and thankfulness of her life…makes my spirit happy. I can feel that still small voice speaking, “Diana, this is real. This is good. Embrace me as she does.”
I will show you more. I will lead you to places unknown, but I will always be with you. You will bless My name as she does, feel My Spirit as she does. Radiate joy, radiate life. Radiate Me.
I need to spend more time with my Father. I’ve gotten busy lately. Working 3 jobs is my excuse, but it’s not a very good one, since a lot of the work I’ve been doing lately is extra…being unable to say no to helping people out… But I must learn, huh? To sacrifice so that I can spend time with God and find Rest in Him.
Oh the rest.
Lord, Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.
