I’ve learned that joy is energy
and incredibly palpable, wouldn't you agree? I super love that feeling and I
love being around people who are joy-filled. Joy is a sense of utter
contentment with life. Contentment and joy is internal and independent of circumstances.
I’ve also learned that negative energy is incredibly palpable too. Negative
energy I've learned is often toxic, suffocating and draining. Have you ever
been in an environment or around a person who emits this type of energy? Makes
you want to run for this hills, right? Negative energy stems from wounds that
have manifested their way into deep rooted anger, bitterness and resentment. It
also stems from a need to control and an unhealthy way of thinking and living.
Stop for a minute right here and
ask yourself today: 1.) What kind of energy am I producing and why? 2.) What
kind of energy am I permitting to enter into my inner circle and why?
If it’s not positive, ask
yourself what steps you can take to change the energy you're producing. Remember,
you have the power to change the energy you produce and it begins with tapping
into the Source, God. Everything is possible with and for God.
If negative energy (chronic negative people) has made its way into
your inner circle, it's time to set some healthy boundaries.
If you’re energy is producing
joy and promoting joy, thank God for that gift and that blessing, it’s no small
thing and it’s something to be thankful for. The people I know who are
joy-filled are those who have deep gratitude for God, life and living. Their
lives are not perfect but they do life and lean on the One who is perfect. And
that's the secret, that's what makes the difference. These joy-filled people
have less-than-rosy pasts and experiences and stories filled with disappointments,
struggles and pain. Life wasn’t always easy and sometimes it’s still not easy
but they chose and choose better not bitter and they choose to invite God into
their lives and into their hearts. They learned that joy is internal and not
based on circumstances.
So ask yourself again: What
kind of energy am I producing? What kind of energy am I permitting to
enter into my inner circle?
Until next time,

p.s. Beloved reader, if you’re
in a place of emotional healing, bless your little heart. Take all the time you
need to heal emotionally. I’m sure reading this today wasn't easy. Emotional
healing is hard work, messy for sure and rarely easy but it’s so worth it so
keep going. Don't give up. Healing and moving on is a process, a process of time
and surrender. It takes many little steps and it takes patience, courage,
self-care, a healthy support network of trusted people and it also requires you
to invite our true Healer into the process. So hang in there, the future is
promising and it will get better. You must choose to believe that even if you
can't see it or feel it yet.
For I am the LORD who heals
you. ~ Exodus 15:26
Dear Friend, I pray that you
may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, just as you are
progressing spiritually. ~ 3 John 1:2
