Little do we realize How contented We would be, If we knew that we are BEAUTIFUL When our hearts are touched BY THEE! JESUS WOULDN’T PAY AN INFINITE PRICE FOR SOMEONE OF NO VALUE!
Gratitude The Key to a Happier Life
LOVE is the power that heals our lives, and love is the power that will ultimately heal this world. GRATITUDE comes from love. It is the natural expression of a loving heart. You cannot be GRATEFUL and UNHAPPY at the same time.
Flowers of Heaven
“Contentment is one of the flowers of heaven, and if we would have it, it must be cultivated. … Paul says, ‘I have learned to be content, [suggesting that] he did not know how at one time. It cost him some pains to attain to the mystery of that great truth.”—Charles Spurgeon (1834–1892)
Regaining Your Joy
“Joy of the Lord” is really just a state of mind and a state of heart.
The Joy of the Lord is fixing your gaze, which determines your attitude and actions, on the eternal values that you’ll be living by forever, and cut yourself loose from the temporary setbacks.
The Joy of the Lord is your strength! (Nehemiah 8:10b)
The Thanksgiving Special
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.
