Beloved–
I know I can’t always be in a happy frame of mind because my circumstances are ever changing. I can always find joy in all situations because I know the source of my joy is never changing. Happiness is fleeting, joy is permanent…it’s my choice.
from prov 16 We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer. We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. from psm 138 The Lord will work out his plans for my life—for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect me from the anger of my enemies.
from psm 34 I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak of his glory and grace. I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart. from psm 138 I give you thanks, O Lord, with all my heart; I will sing your praises before the gods. I bow before your holy Temple as I worship. I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name. As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength.
I am not happy in my present circumstances but I choose to be joyful. from prov 16 Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the Lord will be joyful.
I pray for you daily that you will prosper and be joyful.
Luv ya!
