Joy is a natural outcome of living a life of love from "summary" of Walking the Way of Love by Courtney Cowart
The essence of life is love. When we choose to live a life rooted in love, our actions, thoughts, and words reflect this choice. Love is the foundation upon which joy blossoms naturally. It is like a seed planted in fertile soil, growing and blooming into a beautiful flower. Just as a flower cannot help but bloom when nurtured with sunlight and water, joy cannot help but flourish when nurtured with love. Living a life of love means acting with kindness, compassion, and understanding towards ourselves and others. It means choosing empathy over judgment, forgiveness over resentment, and gratitude over entitlement. When we cultivate love in our hearts, we create a space for joy to take root and thrive. Joy is not a fleeting emotion that comes and goes with the changing tides of life. It is a deep-seated sense of contentment and peace that emanates from within. Joy is the natural byproduct of love because love is a force that transcends all boundaries and barriers. It is the thread that connects us to one another and to the universe at large. When we open our hearts to love, we open ourselves up to the infinite possibilities of joy. Joy is not something that can be manufactured or forced. It is a state of being that arises effortlessly when we align ourselves with the flow of love that permeates all of existence. In a world filled with chaos, uncertainty, and suffering, choosing to live a life of love is a radical act of defiance. It is a refusal to succumb to the darkness and despair that threaten to engulf us. Instead, it is a declaration of our inherent goodness and resilience. When we choose love, we choose joy. And in choosing joy, we choose life in its fullest, richest, and most vibrant form.
