Good Morning Beauties!
You are doing AMAZING! You have walked through 10 days of your journey with God, and I am so proud of your dedication and determination to open yourself up to the transformative work of our Lord.
Today we start our third attribute, JOYFUL. What does it mean to be joyful? The obvious definition is, “To be filled with joy.” But what does joy mean to you? Is it a constant state of happiness? Does it have anything to do with happiness at all? Is it something that comes and goes with circumstance? What is your level of joy on a scale of 1-10? Selah.
The Bible tells us, “The Joy of the Lord is our Strength,” so it’s vitally important to eliminate anything standing in the way of our joy. What are you holding on to that prevents you from walking in the truth of your joy? Are they lies? Are they painful situations you’ve endured? Are you willing to “let go and let God?” Selah.
Darlene Zschech, through her ministry, has had a great impact on my life. I was blessed back in 1999 to attend a Hillsong Conference and worship God under her leading. As she ushered us into the very presence of God, I was changed. I am inspired by her leadership and walk with God and like to share with others in hopes they too will be inspired.
Below is a video in which Darlene explains the loss of an unborn child and the song she wrote in that difficult time follows. Be encouraged to let go and find joy!

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise Him.”
