Faith Virtue 1: Let Your Joy Be Complete
Guiding Scripture:
John 16:24 NIV | Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.
Coaching Integration:
Joy is an internal fruit that is not based on external circumstances. It is why we focus on cultivating joy throughout your Joy Journey to ensure that you are being joyfully fulfilled as you go through internal transformation. Transformation is not a linear process nor is it the easiest path to choose. However, greater are the promises of more peace and joy that are on the other side of being transformed.
Application:
One way you can apply this virtue to your life is by choosing one action, activity, self-development, and/or habit change you can do each day, week, or month that invites joy into your life. Keep in mind that natural joy stands outside of your current circumstances. Practical examples - go for a daily walk because nature sparks joy or take up a new creative hobby like painting or dance.
Joy Gem: “Find joy in everything you choose to do. Every job, relationship, home - it is your responsibility to love it, or change it.” – Chuck Palahniuk
