Find Happiness in The Joy of Jesus
Endowed by my Creator with a full range of emotions to experience all of life, I may feel happy or sad, excited or pensive in any given moment. No matter the circumstances, I have the divine capacity to live in joy, which is more than an emotion; it is a way of being in the world.
I make a difference in the lives of those around me when I meet a frown with a smile, a complaint with a compliment, or a tear with an encouraging word. I affect the lives of others, and I am also affected deeply.
With every optimistic word and every smile, I choose to live in a cheerful world. Infused with the divine power to choose my attitude, outlook and expression, I am co-creating a happy life.

Love is The Joy of Jesus 2012
When listening to a symphony, I hear a harmonious blend of notes that is music to my ears. It resonates within me peacefully. But when a note is out of place or an instrument is out of tune, I hear a discordance that sounds unpleasant.
The harmony of a symphony is like my relationship with God. When I am attuned to God, I feel peace, for I am in harmony with Divine Love. I feel this Love and experience it in every area of my life. When I experience discord in my thoughts or circumstances, it feels unpleasant. It is a reminder to return to the harmony of Love.
Resting in awareness of Divine Love, I experience inner joy. This joy empowers me to face each day with strength and hope.
Learning The Joy of Jesus
Whether I am a student trying to comprehend a textbook, an employee learning the requirements of a new job, or a fledgling driver learning to drive a car, I remember there is only one Mind--Divine Mind--and this Mind is in all.
Whatever I may be learning, the process is easier and simpler if I remember that Divine Mind gives me the power to learn and comprehend. I find it easy to learn new things when I keep myself in tune with infinite intelligence.
I am lifted out of fear and tension as I attune myself with Divine Mind. I am free from any feeling of inadequacy. God's Spirit of success is within me, and I am capable of succeeding at whatever I choose to learn.
