When you wake up each morning, God sends you a special delivery of joy. It’s like it comes knocking at the door of your heart every day. The problem is that some people never answer the door. It’s right there, month after month, year after year saying, “Come on! Let me in! You can be happy! You can cheer up! You can enjoy your life!” The way to answer the door is to get up and choose an attitude of faith and expectancy by declaring that “today is going to be a good day.” When you start the day like that, you are choosing to receive the gift of joy that God sent to you.
Today, make up your mind to answer the door to joy! Get up every morning and say, “Father, thank You for another beautiful day. I’m going to be happy. I’m going to enjoy this day because You are faithful. I’m going to brighten someone else’s life. I am choosing to receive Your gift of joy and passing it on to others because I love You, and I know that I am called for Your purposes!”

do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:6-7 ESV
This week. I was distant from God. I prayed and read the bible. Knowing to seek him this week. But I didn’t put in much effort. It’s so hard to NOT to have a relationship with him. I am alone, hurt, and angry. How can I live without my father, friend, protector! I hate these trials. But through these situations I know I will grow fiercer than a lion. “Be strong & courageous…” always flows through my mind. To continue to pursue the ONE TRUE GOD!
I need God. Nothing else. No affirmation. None. Just God alone. I hate that I hate. I hate that I can’t love. I need to pray for forgiveness for having this heart & not having the heart of Jesus. Jesus is able to forgive. Jesus is able to love his enemies despite all his afflictions. He showed me. He led me to the right path. This path isn’t easy. But it’s worth enduring for the LOVE&JOY of God :P
Jesus you win.

“…To obey is better than sacrifice…” (1 Samuel 15:22, NIV)
One of the best things I’ve learned in life is to obey God quickly. When God asks you to do it, do it right then. When God told David to go face Goliath, the Bible says David ran to the battlefield. Do you know why? If David would have thought about it long enough, he would have talked himself out of it. If he had gone over all the facts, figures, how much bigger Goliath was, how much more experience he had, David would have lost his courage and missed his destiny.
When God asks you to do something, don’t overanalyze it. Don’t reason it out. If you think about it too long, you can miss your destiny. Don’t think, “Why should I buy their dinner? They’ve got more than I do.” Or “Why should I apologize? I apologized first last time.” Or, “Why should I be good to them? They’re not being good to me.” No, quit making excuses. Quit reasoning it out. Quit thinking that you heard God wrong and just do it. Learn to be quick to obey and open the door for the blessing God has in store for you!
