It took time to learn that dark times are important. I had always enjoyed the ‘flowers’ of life but it took thorns to show me the beauty of God’s comfort. You know, the Bible says that God comforts us when we’re afflicted and from His consolation we learn to comfort others.
Well, my experience says that the thorns make the roses more precious. We treasure God’s providential care more during trouble than at any other time.
Acting Upbeat When Feeling Down
It is not being hypocritical to put on a happy face even when you don’t feel happy. It’s a sign of inner strength and maturity.
Acting more positive than you feel also does you good and will often help bring you out of your funk.
You Are Beautiful
Some people have things pretty mixed up. They spend so much time and energy trying to perfect their bodies and make themselves beautiful, but they neglect their inner selves, the unique and beautiful spirits God gave them.
There is only one kind of beauty that can transcend all time. It’s the beauty of the spirit that lights the very eyes, and transforms.
Step by Step
He does not lead me year by year, Nor even day by day, But step by step my path unfolds; My Lord directs my way.
“And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it. –Isaiah 30:21 (KJV)
The Cure for Anxiety
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
