This sparrow sits on a bare branch and is basking in joy. I find that when I'm feeling like nothing is blossoming in my life and I'm going through a difficult time, I can choose to focus on the negative or Choose Joy. The Lord brings joy in all circumstances, which is different and more fulfilling than happiness. May this painting remind you to choose the joy that comes from Christ even when your circumstances look “bare."
