I was reading a Advent daily devotional and at the end of each day it gave me something to do. I had to choose one word for the new year. So I stopped and prayed asked the Lord for one and it was immediately Joy! It was so clear. In my Monday morning Bible study we pick a new word for each year. Our teacher said to look up the meaning, synonyms and antonyms for our word. Well I looked each one up and all the antonyms really spoke to my heart, sad to say. I know God is using this to take me to a deeper level in Him. Painful for me but in the end I know I will be full of JOY.
