Cultivating Joy as a Fruit of the Spirit - a how-to for moms

Join the Joy Reset: https://shop.simplyconvivial.com/joy-reset

Christians must remember that joy is a fruit of the Spirit. Joy does not originate from within us; it comes from the Holy Spirit. We can ask for joy, knowing that God delights in giving it. To increase joy, take a minute to pray, asking God to increase your joy for His glory. God provides joy by guiding us to walk in His way. As you ask for joy, stay open to the Holy Spirit's guidance. 

To increase the joy in your home, smile intentionally at each family member. Make someone laugh by doing or saying something funny. This simple act can significantly lighten the mood and atmosphere in your home. Share your experiences and results in the comments. Experiment with different ways to bring joy to those around you and observe the positive changes.

We challenge ourselves to list things we love about ourselves, while also pinpointing what often steals our joy. We learn to shift focus from blaming others or circumstances to utilizing the power of the Holy Spirit, and we create a resources list of ten things that make us happy and grateful. This episode offers practical steps to transition from ingratitude to gratitude and from anger to joy, encouraging a transformative mindset and a motivated approach to daily life.
