Oil of Joy for Every Occasion

Today, I thought of you in God’s perfect plan.

So go ahead, and place the oil of joy on your hands.

Use it freely, my child. Smile where there is sadness and tears.

Use it to anoint every new circumstance, every new beginning, and every known fear.

Especially, apply the oil when written and spoken words hurt you to your core.

Carry it to every board meeting, every family gathering, and every closed door.

Apply it to your weaknesses, your strengths, your quiet times, and your strife times.

Finally, leave every encounter, rejoicing, knowing you have touched hearts for a lifetime.
