Keep your voice from crying
and your eyes from weeping,
because your endurance will be rewarded,
declares the LORD.

Thank you, Jesus, for the joy you bring into my life. I confess that I let circumstances drain the joy sometimes. But you are a constant source. Help me to tap into your gift on an even deeper level. I want to be the kind of person who lets negative circumstances slide off my back, as water goes off a duck. I'm going to go with your joy. Amen.
