WITHIN

The ocean is deep, very deep.  Beyond the surface of the waves lies beauty.  Most of us will never travel there, but some may reach the depth that is filled with fabulous interesting creatures.  We can however see the beauty because of others.  Some study the wonderful blessings that lie far below where the eye can’t see. 

There is a world that lies within our souls.  We share parts of ourselves but other parts are hidden.  We hide behind a mask of happy, but we don’t have pure joy. 

Joy has become my word for the year.  I am digging deep to find how we can find joy in every situation even those situations that are dark and deep within us.  It is time to dive into our souls.  Dive into the depth that you don’t like to share and that others can’t see. 

JOY- to have it this is what we must remember.

 J-JESUS it is because of Him that we live.  He died for us.  Because of this death we are forgiven.

 O- INNER CIRCLE we all have one.  The inner circle is made up of those who love you unconditional.  Those individuals that have gone deep within.  They know your joys and your fears.  They are here for you all day everyday.  They only want happiness for you.  Even Jesus had an inner circle.  It was made up of those disciples that he trusted completely and those that loved Him no matter what the circumstance. 

Y-YOU you are loved you are important and don’t YOU FORGET IT.  God loved us so much that He gave His son for us.  He loves you and wants you to find the JOY that lies deep within underneath the surface. 

Dig down into yourself.  Find what lies beyond your surface.  There is beauty deep within.  You may not think so, but there is.  If you are troubled, if you are tired reach deep and find the wonderful blessings that await you.  You may not be able to see it, but the Lord can.  He is waiting for you to realize the joy that is deep within you.
