I Am Going to Be Joyful

 John 16:23-24

23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

There is so much to be thankful for.  I choose joy today.  I am going to be joyful.  Some aches and pains, yes.  A pile of bills, for sure.  Some things to cry about, certainly.  Yet, there is so much to be thankful for.  I choose joy today.  I am going to be joyful.

"He's the joy of my salvation. Yes, He is. Woke me up this morning, started me on my way. He's the joy of my salvation. Yes, He is."  Joy. Today.  Chose joy.  'Joy, joy, joy, a little more joy.  You don't need a lot, just use what you've got."  Today, joy.   I chose joy. "Because He lives all fear is gone. I know He holds my future. Life is worth the living just because He lives."  Joy.  Chose joy.

Joy is knowing that we serve an Awesome God.  Joy is being certain that He hears and answers prayer.  Joy is trusting that the Lord knows what is best for us.  Joy is unwavering faith that the Word of God is true.  Joy. Choose joy.

Joy is a deep down, inside, overflow of thankfulness.  It is praising in the midst of the "whatsoever's" of life.  Joy transcends happiness.  The fulness of joy. Jesus gives Joy.  Joy.  I am going to be joyful.  Today.

God Bless!

in Christ,

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
