Isaiah 61:10

"I am overwhelmed with joy in the LORD my God!
     For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation
     and draped me in a robe of righteousness.
I am like a bridegroom in his wedding suit
     or a bride with her jewels."
 
Does the salvation and righteousness Jesus bought for you bring you great joy? Perhaps it's been a while since you have dwelt on what God has done for you. Today, meditate on the miracle of your salvation—that God chose you and has forgiven all your transgressions. Not only that, he has given you a completely new nature, one that knows how to please God. If you have the opportunity, be prepared to tell others about something God has done for you. Let joy overwhelm you—and share it!
