Joy resides in me

Today I wish to share with you another poem by Carol Bialock that I find helpful. The title is "Resolution".

I will not let the angel of joy
Flood my soul in vain
I will not let darkness
Be victorious.
When fear tightens its noose,
Constricts the heart,
Clogs the mind,
I will go to the man of light
Who has always befriended me
And breathe deep 
in the release
Of his embrace.

"All our joys are seen as Thee" - this line has stayed with me.
I think the Holy Spirit is working in me so that I am able to see God's presence constantly in the people and events in each day. Maybe I just am having more time to reflect but it is a grace.
