Joy Expressed
When difficult circumstances come, we will put a magnifying glass on something. What or Who will you magnify?
Joy is an inner excitement despite our circumstances.
Joy expressed is rejoicing, even if our circumstances lead us to not want to rejoice.
Mary found herself in difficult circumstances, and yet, she gave us her magnificat. Her song of praise despite her difficult circumstances.
Magnify is to “enlarge.”
When difficult circumstances come your way, what do you put a magnifying glass on?
Your difficulties?
Or your Lord?
