Practice - Sunday, February 22, 2015 | Daily Word



My spiritual practice might include time each day for prayer and meditation, sacred service, and reading scripture and other inspirational writings. The times I set aside to deepen my relationship with God are invaluable. They anchor me in knowing the unlimited love of Spirit.
Such disciplines are just the beginning of my spiritual practice. They fortify me to bring the presence of God to every situation throughout my day. Each apparent challenge or blessing is an opportunity to strengthen my faith in the Christ within. As I lovingly express peace, gratitude, and generosity—even during difficult times—I experience the joy of God’s presence in every moment of my life.
Put these things into practice, devote yourself to them, so that all may see your progress.—1 Timothy 4:15

Joy

I PLAY AND RETURN TO JOY, MY NATURAL STATE OF BEING.
When I watch a toddler bounce to music or hear children squeal with delight, I remember human beings are meant to feel and express joy. I may sometimes wonder where my joy has gone; when did life become so serious? Then I have a good laugh, take myself and my life a little less seriously, and joy bubbles up again.
Joy is never lost; sometimes I just lose sight of it. I make a playdate to bring joy into the forefront of my life. I may call a friend with a good sense of humor or spend the afternoon at a park playing with children or pets. I may plan a joyful surprise for someone else, or simply do what I love. In times of play, I feel lighter and brighter. I am returned to my natural state of joy.


You make the gateways of the morning and the evening shout for joy.—Psalm 65:8
