Day 14 "You Are Joyful"
Good Morning Beauties!
Freedom, Grace, Peace...these are words we've looked out this week along with their significance to our Joyfulness. We are free from our chains and elevated to a place God intended for us. His delight in us displays His grace. Jesus paid the price for our sins and we are reconciled with the Father forever. Our acceptance by God ends our need for striving to please Him, and we find peace.
Being grounded in this Truth strengthens us through the difficulties in life. Today, my husband and I say good-bye to our beloved Cayman. (Our sweet dog, see his picture on the website.) It's been an agonizing decision, but the right one. We will be relying on our inner joy to get through the next few hours. As we share the memories of Cayman's arrival to our home and his time with us over the past 14 years, we laugh and cry, and are mostly so grateful that God chose him for us.
In these painful times, we must choose to rejoice. We must remember the blessings of God; how He chose us, saved us, gave us new life, and will be with us for eternity. We must also remember that He is right along side of us through the hardships. God draws close to us as we draw close to Him.
What difficulty will you choose to rejoice in today? Selah.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
