A Present Joy-Keeper - Enneagram 7

Created to Awaken, Called to Abide Series

---

AWAKEN -- I am special for God knows my name (HIS CHILD)

ASK -- Who am I when impulsivity, over-commitment, or cynicism become repeated behaviours? What lies propel me to act this way? What do I fear? (boredom). What need is deficient? (security). How does gluttony falsely hide that desire? 

Paul and Silas were imprisoned unjustly, yet in their darkest hours, they prayed and sang hymns, rejoicing in God, anchored in God’s presence (not escape). The freedom of their hearts could not be contained (not external). True Joy is in the God who is enough.  Acts 16:16-40 (JOY-KEEPER) 

TRUTH

ALIGN -- Where belonging displaces endless seeking (I am satisfied)

I am enough (I am accepted), I do enough (I am valuable), I am more than enough (I am cared for, I am seen)                                                 

I receive stillness and simplicity with what is right now (I relinquish resistance, I welcome sober-mindness)

SACRED WISDOM

ADORE -- I accept God’s slower refinement for His glory

I allow the depths of God’s guidance and His will

I admire God’s higher and fully loving purposes

GRATITUDE

ABIDE -- Where “Christ in me” thrives. (PRESENT)

Who I am becoming…(day by day). Delightfully FULFILLED!

 Ps. 46:10 - “Be still and know that I am God.”

Jeremiah 15:16 - "Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name."
