I was having a bit of brain freeze thinking about this week's word "laughter" so I did what I have learned to do when I feel stuck. When journaling this morning, I asked the Lord what He would like to share.
Not just giggles that scratch the surface; more than mere chuckles; but deep, soul restoring laughter; like living water flowing from your very core - this comes from fullness of joy - joy in Me.
Come let Me open the joy gate. Step into Me where mere happiness grows thin and pale. For here, in Me, even in pain, even in mourning, joy will find you.
And your lips curl upward at the corners.
And your mouth opens.
And the sound comes
a tremble that builds upon itself
and becomes a roar.
Waves crashing upon the shores of sorrow.
Waterfalls of rain pouring hard upon your thirsty soul.
Step into Me for a drenching.
Be refreshed in My peace
