WHEN THE MORNING STARS SANG TOGETHER, AND ALL THE SONS OF GOD SHOUTED FOR JOY. ( JOB 38:7 *NKJV )
When we count our many blessings daily, it causes us to become a positive person. We also become more cheerful and gain a sunny disposition as well.
Now it is written that: HE WHO IS OF A MERRY HEART HAS A CONTINUAL FEAST. ( PROVERBS 15:15 ) That is because A MERRY HEART MAKES A CHEERFUL COUNTENANCE, BUT BY SORROW OF THE HEART THE SPIRIT IS BROKEN. ( PROVERBS 15:13 )
So, make a daily routine of counting all of your blessings, and you will become known as:
The Soul With Sunny Heart
God bless the soul with sunny heart
Who brightens up each day
By spreading seeds of cheerfulness
While traveling on life’s way.
God bless him for the stars of hope
He sets in each one’s sky;
For the encouragement he gives
That causes folk to try…
With stronger faith to press ahead,
With courage for a mate,
And reach for goals, and build anew,
And smile and challenge fate.
God bless his laughter and his song
That drives dark clouds away
From troubled minds, and paints instead
A rosy-tinted day.
God bless the soul with sunny heart
Who’s found in life his place,
And serves his God and fellow man
With humble, gentle grace.
The world has need of such a man
Who lifts the heart from gloom,
And in life’s barren places plants
Sweet flowers of love to bloom.
He may serve as some men serve
With fame or high degree…
But his good deeds will ever shine
Throughout eternity.

IN ME YOU MAY HAVE PEACE

FOR GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION BUT OF PEACE, AS IN ALL THE CHURCHES OF THE SAINTS. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 14:33 *NKJV )
In this world today it is hard for most people to find any peace at all. Confusion abounds no matter where we go. Jesus warned us about that for He said, “THESE THINGS I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU, THAT IN ME YOU MAY HAVE PEACE. IN THE WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TRIBULATION; BUT BE OF GOOD CHEER, I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD.” ( JOHN 16:33 )
After all it is written that: THE LORD WILL GIVE STRENGTH TO HIS PEOPLE; THE LORD WILL BLESS HIS PEOPLE WITH PEACE. ( PSALM 29:11 ) Therefore when you find yourself confused, always look to Jesus Christ for HE HIMSELF IS OUR PEACE. For He said, “PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU, MY PEACE I GIVE YOU.” ( EPHESIANS 2:14 ) ( JOHN 14:27 )
Now that is a loving caring peace that we become filled with on our spiritual journey, and peace is only one of the many blessings we receive on that journey, for it is also written: THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, AND SELF CONTROL. AGAINST SUCH THINGS THERE IS NO LAW. ( GALATIANS 5:22-23 )
So, it is my prayer that you are well on your way down that spiritual path right now, and that THE PEACE OF GOD WHICH SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING, WILL GUARD YOUR HEART AND MIND THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. Amen! ( PHILIPPIANS 4:7 )
In Christ you will find peace

BLESSED BE THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE FATHER OF MERCIES AND THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 1:3 *NKJV )
GOD is our comforter when troubles hit our life. For HE is the one: WHO COMFORTS US IN ALL OUR TRIBULATION, THAT WE MAY COMFORT THOSE WHO ARE IN ANY TROUBLE WITH THE COMFORT WITH WHICH WE OURSELVES ARE COMFORTED BY GOD. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 1:4 )
After all it is written: THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL; FOR YOU ARE WITH ME; YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME. ( PSALM 23:4 )
Indeed, HE comforts those who turn to HIM, and HE even tells us to, “BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE, DO NOT FEAR NOR BE AFRAID OF THEM; FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD, HE IS THE ONE WHO GOES WITH YOU. HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.” ( DEUTERONOMY 31:6 )
So, remember the words of our Savior JESUS CHRIST, for HE said: “LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED; YOU BELIEVE IN GOD; BELIEVE ALSO IN ME.” ( JOHN 14:1 )
Now, BRETHREN MAY THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOUR SPIRIT! AMEN. ( GALATIANS 6:18 )
Worry Not

DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT IN EVERYTHING, BY PRAYER AND PETITION, WITH THANKSGIVING, PRESENT YOUR REQUESTS TO GOD. ( PHILIPPIANS 4:6 *NIV )
If I ask you, wouldn’t it be wonderful not to have any worries at all? That is hard to imagine isn’t it, for it seems like worry is part of this life. The part of life that causes us to lose sleep, damages our health, controls our thoughts, and causes us to lose faith in God.
Jesus Christ asked: “WHO OF YOU BY WORRYING CAN ADD A SINGLE HOUR TO HIS LIFE?” (MATTHEW 6:27). The answer is simple, no one! Jesus also said: “DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW WILL WORRY ABOUT ITSELF.” ( MATTHEW 6:34 ).
So why not turn your worries into prayers, after all God promises to supply all of our needs anyway! Therefore there is also an added benefit when we turn our worries into prayers, for God also promises us that: WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE AFRAID: WHEN YOU LIE DOWN YOUR SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. (PROVERBS 3:24)
Therefore, turn your worries into prayers and you will have sweet dreams, instead of sleepless nights! Also then you may even start to count your blessings instead of sheep as well! Amen.
