Watch out for the Joy Snatcher!

The Joy snatcher came when I was not watching. Oh, the many tools he uses: stress, worry, doubt, and discouragement. He used worry and stress to weigh down my mind and then toss a blanket of doubt and discouragement over my heart. Yep! He had my JOY all bundled up to steal. It was like a cold dark dreary day. But I knew, within me, was an invincible summer. I could not let him take my joy, so I fought back. I let go of worry and stress of what may happen months from now. I took my hammer of HOPE and knocked the doubt and discouragement from my heart.
