I was singing to myself this morning "Joy to the World".
It's interesting to me that most people think of sadness as being the opposite of joy.
I see this morning that it's not. Sadness is the opposite of happiness.
Something has to "happ-en" for us to be "happy".
Joy is a "presence" because it was a "present" from God as a gift of the Holy Spirit. It dwells in us just as Wisdom does fully. I realize that I don't have to ask God for Wisdom. His Wisdom already fully and completely dwells in me. I need to just yield myself to having that Wisdom flow out of me.
It is/mustbe the flesh and the cares of the world that shrouds the gifts like wrapping paper covers a gift. I have joy in me. I need to remove the wrappings of my life and that Joy will be present more and more and more.
