Yellow for Joy

Yellow is a joyful color and cheers my heart like few others. I’m posting it tonight to remind myself that joy IS possible, even in the most difficult times.

And true joy isn’t found in our circumstances, or our good prospects, or our earthly security. It isn’t found in pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps, or by digging deeper, or getting ahold of ourselves. It isn’t found in distracting ourselves from fear by working more, recreating more, medicating more, or anything more than giving that fear and anxiety and real, overwhelming emotions to God and asking Him for help with it all.

I Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”
