LOOKING UP AND FINDING IMMEASURABLE JOY BEYOND THE NOISE 

The Word for today is a reflection on Romans 15, Verse 13... 

 As we look out onto the world in real time, we see a growing worldwide fear, political unrest, growing climate change, and catastrophes that swirl all around us. It’s EASY to be consumed by worry.  Yet, when we turn to God and trust the Holy Spirit, our hearts miraculously rise above that menacing noise overflowing with joy and a steadfast hope. 

 

In today's reflection, Paul’s words shine.  We can overflow with hope even when fear and uncertainty swirls all around us. Paul then blesses the believers with a prayer that produces not just an ordinary joy, but an overflowing sense of hope and excitement in God.  It is through trust that we, the dear children of God, open ourselves up to the miraculous and transformative power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. 

 There, we are completely filled and overflowing with confident hope. This radiant hope that fills us overflows into the lives of others. What a way to live! When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we are naturally joyful. And this joy that wholly carries the presence of God, seeps into the lives of others. It touches them, heals them, and blesses them. What a Gift. Use it. It is this precious gift of God that provides a real and viable way to live happily every day, especially in troubling times. 

Dear Father, fill me with so much joy and peace that it overflows into the lives of others. Amen
