Reading & Meditation (Joy) Rev. Christine Emmerling 10/20/2024

Today I’m sharing from the Divine Science Daily Studies volume II. This reading is written by B.L. Wolfe.


“A merry heart does good like a medicine.” Proverbs 17:22


I choose to be lighthearted. To everything in my life I give the light touch. I am cheerful and hopeful. I smile often. I can see the funny side. I try never to take myself or my opinions too seriously.


I make friends with “difficult” people and trying situations by steadfastly blessing each one. I like to work and my work likes me. A sense of humor is a saving grace. I am grateful for the gift of laughter. I remember that of all God’s creatures, man alone can laugh.


My life is full of happy surprises. I have fun just living. “Easy does it” is my watchword as I let the Spirit of the Lord go before me, making smooth and safe my way.


Our Bible says:

I will bless you...and you shall be a blessing. Genesis 12:2


A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance. Proverbs 15:13


Happy is that people, whose God is the Lord. Psalms 144:15


He (will) fill my mouth with laughing, and my lips with rejoicing.” Job 8:21


Affirm: I Choose to be Lighthearted.


Meditation


We shall now move into a meditation on “Joy.” Let us turn inward to our holy temple connecting mind and heart as one.


“The Joy of the Lord is your strength.” From Nehemiah 8:10.


We now bring our attention to God our Creator that is everywhere present, Omnipresence, Infinite Spirit. I am forever one with this Divine Infinite Spirit that is living in through and as my very being. I now go deeper within and touch this Divine Presence of pure joy. A joy that sings through my heart, and lifts every cell of my being. I am lifted as though I have wings, ever lighter and lighter. My soul soars to new heights bubbling up and overflowing rejoicing I am joyous.



I am a spirit of joy. (Repeat)


God’s great outburst of joy is ever unfolding our universe. Every star and planet, and everything in-between is joy expressing. This gift of joy is expressing in all of creation. A baby’s giggle; a family eating, talking and laughing together; a flower raising its head to soak in the sun; a bird singing to the rising sun; whales and dolphins bursting out of the ocean and into the air. Joy is the very essence of creative expression. God’s joy is the inner strength, love and creativity within me. (Silence)


Let us take a moment to let the joy of gratitude fill our hearts. Thank you, Divine Presence, for these moments of Oneness. So it is, Amen.
