Forget Unhappiness, Focus on these 3 Ways to Radiate Joy | AWAYION BEAUTY

Hi, Friends!

Being joyful is something desirable. Believers pursue of joy instead of temporal happiness in some form or another.

That said, some believers in Christ mistakenly focus only on problems. Meanwhile, neglecting to focus on what is pure, lovely, or of good rapport (aka things that bring joy).

If that is you, no worries, it’s totally fixable.

If you are a believer and you find yourself focusing too much on fallen world events or personal woes, it may be time to redirect your thoughts. Right?

In this post, discover 3 proven ways to radiate joy (aka something better than happiness). Because every girl in Christ should radiate joy.

Super Awesome Side Note: Remember happiness is temporal and JOY is eternal. This post talks about happiness in a general sense. Happiness does not replace, nor is it greater than the fruit of the Spirit called JOY.

Super Awesome Side Note: Before we start, understand we will not claim contested truths. And we will refrain from falling into the trap of “teaching man-made ideas as commands from the Creator.”

Out of respect for believers, we will simply acknowledge the multiplicity of views on this subject (the keyword is “acknowledge” and not agree). While focusing on the fact our Creator’s thoughts are not our thoughts, neither are His ways our ways. That said, this is a non-exhaustive list. So use this list to do further research.

Super Psst… the big secret I’ve been hinting around about on social media for a year now has finally been revealed… (its also why I have been MIA for a bit… ) Read on after this post for the juicy details.

*Disclaimer: These tips could help you if you are a believer in Christ. Also, always do further research. As a believer know your “joy” comes directly from our Heavenly Father. Below are practical ways to show joy in your life. Also, the sources for this or any post do not equal a full endorsement of any ministry or evangelist’s personal views by Awayion.com.**

TL:DR A quick post glance:

1. Accept Yourself
   
2. Appreciate Wholesome Pleasures
   
3. Help Others
   

Sound awesome ladies? Okay, let’s start!

1. Accept Yourself

For starters, you can radiate joy once you fully accept who you are. Especially, your imperfections, such as when you screw up.

Do not let mistakes get you down. Quickly, ask our Heavenly Father for forgiveness, forgive yourself, and repent. These acts could help free you from a critical spirit. As well as, help you to radiate joy.

Now, the act of accepting yourself is not a recipe for being content with a lack of self-improvement. That is poor thinking and blocks your advancement in growing in Christ. It also blocks you from becoming a better lady.

You are commanded to “rejoice in The Lord”(Philippians 4:4). And you cannot accomplish this if you do not love The Lord or yourself.

2. Appreciate Wholesome Pleasures

You will definitely radiate joy when you appreciate simple yet wholesome pleasures. Notice the keyword “wholesome“. This means what you appreciate does not cause harm to your physical or spiritual health.

To exhibit joy, appreciate the lovely things of life such as sunshine, the smell of fresh flowers, and the like. Praise The LORD for His creations.

Have you heard that whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think on these things? If so, then you have the keys to radiating joy.

It is not the pleasures themselves that help you radiate happiness (aka true joy), it is your ability to appreciate them.

The appreciative woman who learns to enjoy common pleasures around, she always has a source of joy near at hand (Andelin, 1990).

Have you heard to love your neighbor as yourself? If so, then you understand the validity of this act of kindness.

Focusing your devotion on yourself, causes your happiness limited. So help others and start radiating joy now.
