Laugh Aloud

My darling children! Do you realise that I am a Father who loves to laugh and have fun? That it brings my heart incredible joy to see my beloved ones being merry with laughter and enjoyment.

I too love to laugh! Even better, I love to laugh with you. I am not a distant god, but a close Father, who loves to spend time with his children. Being joyful is a part of who I am and it is your portion also. When was the last time you had a good laugh? When you laughed so hard you cried and your sides ached. 

Don’t be afraid to laugh, to find joy in the mundane, or to tell a joke and sing a silly song. Remember, dear ones: I created you to live life in abundance and laughter and joy are your portion.

Activation: Take a moment to consider the last time you laughed aloud. The last time you felt merry and carefree. Ask Jesus to show you where he was with you in those moments. Spend some time talking to Jesus about what it means to be merry and joyful. 

Psalm 2:4 (NIV)

The one enthroned in heaven laughs . . . 

Isaiah 55:12 (NIV)

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
