And I've been doing mini-reflections for a couple of weeks now, may not be 'divinely inspired', but they are sort of reminders to me, of how I should always relate God in my daily life, through reflecting on my own personalities and ways.
One of them is on joy.
I felt like today is one of my 'happy-hyper' days, and yet at the back of my mind I am always reminded by this phrase that I sort of 'curse' or confine myself into: 'Laugh so much now, will cry lots later'.
I dunno where I got the idea from.
To be honest that's how I've been living my life with, and now I think it is very un-Christian like. And not true. It is only because my mind is set to be like that, that I somehow 'fulfil' this phrase 'prophetically'.
As though to belittle God's gift of joy. However, there are such things as wise joy ad foolish joy. I probably was being foolishly joyful before that had cause me lots of pain afterwards.
I made myself a post-it poem on reflecting this:
Joy is good, joy is a blessing.
Being joyful doesn't mean to be ignorant,
nor to be insensitive,
nor to be blind to the truth,
nor to be foolish.
True joy comes from God,
And maintains its wisdom,
Such joy is a blessing indeed,
A joy that the wise one deserves to keep.
