# Bring Joy to All that You Do **Spirit:** [[Spirits/Goldie|Goldie]] · **Medium:** Al Fike · **Date:** 2019-02-22 *Think of this journey not as a test but as a gift, and in it there is an element of joy.* --- He is so serious. He is so earnest that he wants you to grow in light and awaken in love. But remember, my friends, to bring joy in every thing you do, to think of this journey not as a test but as a gift, that everything that God brings to you is a gift and that in it there is an element of joy. The joy in your souls continues to grow as you grow. The love in your souls continues to be purified and awakened as you continue to receive this gift of all the Love of God. We are with you. Be joyful. Allow God to uplift you always and I will do my part to bring to you joy because I love you. I love you dearly. God bless you. Goldie loves you. --- > [!abstract] Description > Goldie brings a warm, lighthearted counterpoint to a more serious teacher, urging the group to bring joy to everything they do and to see the journey not as a test but as a gift. She assures them that as their souls grow, joy and love grow with them through the Divine Love they receive, and promises to do her part to uplift them. ## Related messages - [[2015-11-30 Express Joy in the World|Express Joy in the World]] - [[2018-08-28 Have Laughter in the Seriousness of Learning Spiritual Things|Have Laughter in the Seriousness of Learning Spiritual Things]] > [!question]- Questions this message answers > - How do I bring more joy into everything I do? > - Why does the spiritual path sometimes feel like a test instead of a gift? > - How can I see life's challenges as gifts rather than burdens? > - Does God want me to be joyful, not just serious and devoted? > - How does joy grow in the soul over time? > - What does the Bible mean when it says the joy of the Lord is my strength? > - How do I let God uplift me when I feel weighed down?
