My Bride, many reasons surround the earth and could cause you to choose any other disposition but joy. Yet I invite you to look up! I have taken you through a season of maturing and developing, and now I challenge you to choose joy!
Choose joy despite what surrounds you; choose joy even in your circumstances and position. You are also positioned in heavenly places, and my joy will strengthen you for the road ahead.
James 1:2-3 ESV
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
Ephesians 2:6 ESV
And raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
