My Blessed Assurance is You, Lord. You Are My Joy!

Father, Your joy is such a blessing to me. Even on the hardest of days, Your joy remains — that blessed assurance that I am Yours and You are mine. Circumstances do not dictate the joy that resides deep within because circumstances do not dictate whether or not You are with me. You are with me always, for You are faithful.

Therefore I have joy!

You have reminded me that Your joy is my strength, Your joy resides in me already. I don’t need to create it, or earn it — I need only to release it.

Therefore I have hope.
