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,

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help.

Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...
