What does it look like to choose joy, even on the toughest days? In today’s episode, hosts Richelle Alessi invite us to explore the healing power of a joyful heart, reflecting on Proverbs 17:22 and the idea that “a joyful heart is good medicine.” Together, we’ll learn how joy isn’t just a fleeting feeling, but a choice we can make—regardless of our personality or circumstances—that has the power to transform our hearts, our homes, and our relationships. Through personal stories and practical encouragement, we’ll discover ways to cultivate gratitude and let God’s joy strengthen us daily.

Join our My Morning Devotional community in prayer and devotion as we ask God to fill us with abiding joy and become beacons of positivity for those around us.
