The recipe for joy

Daily writing promptWhat’s your favorite recipe?View all responses

Years ago, I discovered the recipe for joy in my favorite recipe book. I follow that recipe in my heart every day and it never fails to feed me with awe and delight.

It’s a simple recipe. Open your heart and mix the awareness and acceptance of real love with radical reliance and dependence on that love and receive a quality of life that is out of this world!

The recipe is called John 3:16. A famous football player used to wear it under His eyes during football games.

Here’s the recipe: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Do you want amazing joy? Open your heart to receive the love of God and believe in Jesus to the point of radically relying on His presence and power throughout each day.
