Hey fam!
Don’t let anything steal your joy today!
And if you’ve already lost your joy, here are a few ways to get your joy back:
A. Carve out a space and a place to read something inspirational (ever read REINVENT YOUR LIFE? LOL) I love reading the book of Proverbs. There are action steps there to grow in wisdom.
B. Talk with someone who loves God, loves people and doesn’t have a critical spirit. It will refresh you. Toxic people and circumstances drain you and can’t always be avoided. Your job is to find a church, a small group or ask God to lead you to someone who can be encouraging without being patronizing.
C. Encourage someone else. The secret to my longevity in ministry is that through my own trials, hurts and failures, I have never ceased to sing, preach, write and share God’s love whether on stage or one on one. As you minister and give to others, God always ministers and gives back to you in various ways.
D. Change your priorities. Seek God’s Kingdom above ALL else!
E through Z. And then most importantly, talk to God. Then wait…. and let Him speak to your spirit. If you don’t know anything else, grow in grace and clear the clutter so that you can know His voice.
Father God, thank you for guiding us as we seek you.
We need your guidance. We need your peace. We need your strength.
Would you open the eyes of our hearts? We want to see you in everything we do.
Your will be done. In earth. In me.
Thank you for fresh faith.
Thank you for fresh fire.
Thank you for hearing us.
In Jesus’ name… Amen
You matter!

Thank you Uncle Alvin for this piece of blessing. I’ve made up my mind to remain joyful. It’s only the joyful that can attracts God’s presence.
Surely God has His servants who listens to what He says and goes where He sends them. As for me, this message was God sent, been without joy, or any reason to have it. Thanks for allowing God to send you to me.
Bless you
