It's so easy to miss the beauty,
to look for it in all the wrong places.
When all along it is
right there, in plain view.
But sometimes, everyday -
we need to purposely make a choice,
the right choice.
"Joy does not simply happen to us.
We have to choose joy
and keep choosing it
every day."
(Henri Nouwen)
Where do you and I look for
this greatest prize - this joy?
We can try everything,
but there is only one true source,
never-changing, always near.
"You make known to me
the path of life;
in Your presence there is
fullness of joy;
at Your right hand are
pleasures forevermore."
(Psalm 16:11 ESV)
Everyday,
choose Him;
His life-giving Words,
His grace, His mercy,
the warmth of His love;
unending gifts here on earth,
and forever, with Him.
