Conviction I – You Deserve Joy

Written by

Affirmation, Convictions, God, Purpose, Writing

You deserve to enjoy life. Not the general “you”, but you specifically, reading these words right now. Not only do you deserve to enjoy life, but you deserve to enjoy it TODAY. I believe this, because I believe the Creator of the Universe built every single person to enjoy this life. And if the Creator built you for it, then you DESERVE it.

You are imbued with meaning and value. And your value is not derived from what you can do, your social status, your body, your sense of humor, or any other external or transient feature. Your value is intrinsic, because the God of all Creation loves you, personally. Individually.

You are built with purpose. You add the most value to this world, and increase the joy others are able to experience, by living that purpose. Your value to God is in your very existence, but your value to this world is through the passions God embedded in your heart. You, living your passions, helps bring joy to, and empower others. Your passions, and thus you, are one of God’s many gifts to this world.

You. Deserve. Joy.

These are powerful words. You are undoubtedly an empath, Chris. Be careful to conserve energy and to not let others drain yours. I believe your message needs to be shared. Take care and spread that Joy.

  I’m impressed you picked up on that from so little! But you are exactly correct, and I’m only now learning about managing my energies!

Lovely Chris. Powerful words, and you know what, I really loved the brevity/length of your post! There is so much power and meaning in what you’ve said that it feels great to be touched by it, take it in, and then allow it some quiet in which to sink in. I feel quite taken by the way you did that. It makes me think about how so often we use so many words and think ‘more is better’, but no, I think more words can lead to less significance/effect as we try to take in more and then lose the strength of what we’ve read earlier.
