“I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.” ― Tagore

Recently, we talked about joy & love and sharing our joy with others, which leads us directly to service. What better way to show love and joy while blessing others than in service?

In 1 Corinthians 3:9 (MEV), it says that “For we are laborers together with God…” and Psalms 100:2 (ISV) states, “Serve the Lord with joy.”

When we assist others, it brings joy to our hearts and theirs. We can help in many ways, although we need to allow God to direct us.

“Joy is prayer; joy is strength: joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.” ―  Mother Teresa

“For the people we meet during our daily life, we just might be the Jesus they encounter.” ―  Anonymous

“The greatest joy comes from giving and serving, so replace your habit of focusing exclusively on yourself and what’s in it for you. When you make the shift to supporting others in your life, without expecting anything in return, you’ll think less about what you want and find comfort and joy in the act of giving and serving.” ―  Wayne Dyer

As we continue on this journey of making joy our lifestyle, let us take time to serve others and receive the ultimate delight.

Please join me next time as we continue to “focus on joy.”

[Joy is => inner gladness, delight, calm delight, or even rejoicing.]
