W. Norman Cooper--
Joy is one of the keys which opens the door to all that is of real value--especially the joy that rejoices in other's successes. You can find great joy in giving up whatever is limiting your ability to share all the good which God has given to you. Just give it up--with joy.
The caterpillar must give up being a caterpillar before it can become the beautiful butterfly. So you must give up--and give up joyously--all limiting thoughts such as selfishness, hatred and fear.
You cannot force your way into more good; neither can sadness, unhappiness, self-condemnation lead you to good. But through joy, well-laced with selfless love, you can accept from God all that you truly need to serve others.
Joy is one of the keys that unlocks the door to all that is of real value. Just use your key of joy today and then share it freely with others.
