Throughout life, there will always be something that will try to take our joy. If it's not a grumpy sales person, it's a family member aggravating you, traffic is backed up, your flight got delayed or your friends are sheeps in wolves clothing.
Don't go through the next 20 years allowing the same people and same circumstances to frustrate you any more. Change your approach. What's upsetting you now doesn't have to upset you any more. You can choose to keep your cool and stay calm and steady. Remember, a relaxed attitude is going to lengthen your life. The next time you are tempted to be upset, ask yourself "Is it really worth me giving up my joy?"
If you will make this decision to not give away your joy, to live each day happy, God promises that you will be strong, you will have better relationships and you will accomplish more. He says a joyful heart is good medicine. Hold on to your joy and move forward into the abundant life God has in store.
Also remember that the bible is always there to support and help you. Let the word of God be your daily inspiration to help you retain your joy.
"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message and the message is heard through the word of Christ" Romans 10:17.
