Joy

"Speaking kind words starts a wave of love in motion that brings more love upon your shores."

"There is great power in our words, because theyare thoughts to which we have given additional energy by speaking them aloud so another person can know them."

"Kindness always leaves a timeless deposit on the heart."

"Certainly I believe that God gave us life for happiness, not misery. Humanity, I am sure, will never be made lazy or indifferent by an excess of happiness. Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. Happiness should be a means of accomplishment, like health, not an end in itself."

"We hunger after the sweet nectar of happiness without understanding that it is harvested from the flowering field of good deeds."

"The problem with churches of all sorts,” he continued, “is that so often they ignore the key teachings of the Sermon on the Mount, like the doctrine of love. So often we ask God to be on our side instead of asking that we be blessed enough to be on his. That said, the wheat and the tares must grow up together, and in the days of harvest they will be separated properly."

"The news can be poison to your soul, don't let it kill your joy, be compassionate but not consumed. Be empathetic not enraged."

"Success follows those who champion a cause greater than themselves."

"Let us subdue the ravages of the baser-self, and aspire to the higher calling of exalting joy through compassion, for that is the one true purpose of humanity."

"Love is the ultimate creator."

"A simple truth delivered in kindness may be the impetus that ignites a passionate fire in another’s soul and goes on to become the source of motivation for positive change."

"A person can put up any kind of protective wall, but love and truth always find a way around it."

"Having a vested interest in other souls unconditionally creates a ripple effect that produces miracles in the lives of those around us."

"When we involve others in spontaneous acts of kindness, we go from being strangers to becoming a united team connected at the heart level."

"If someone is facing a difficult time, one of the kindest things you can do for him or her is to say, “I’m just going to love you through this."

"Whisper sweetly the tenderness of the moment. Let the love teach you the true meaning and passion of this experience we share. With gratitude and reverence for the blessings and miracles I receive and witness, my heart still beats as the little things die to be reborn with a greater joy for life in each moment."

"If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them. They are not a sort of prize which God could, if He chose, hand out to anyone. They are a great fountain of energy and beauty spurting up at the very centre of reality. If you are close to it, the spray will wet you: if you are not,, you will remian dry. Once a man is united to God, how could he not live forever? Once a man is separated from God, what can he do but wither and die."

"I don't care what it looks, I don't care what it feels like, I believe God."

"The greatest joy is in giving; after all, God gave Christ for us."

"Joy is found in Jesus when we rejoice in Him. We can rejoice our way to joy!"
