Are you fearful or worried? Are you more concerned about pleasing friends than about pleasing your God? Are you bitter, confused, cynical or pessimistic? If so it is time to have a little chat with your Father in Heaven. God intends that your life be filled with spiritual abundance and joy- but God will not force His joy upon you- you must claim it for yourself. So do your self this favor: accept God’s gifts with a smile on your face, a song on your lips and joy in your heart. Give thanks to the One who has given you everything, and trust in your heart that He wants to give you so much more. As believers our Reference Point is the BIBLE. All values, judgments,and attitudes must be gauged in relationship to this Reference Point. Let us aspire to be Christ like in our attitude, in all situations good or bad, happy or sad. Let us have an attitude of optimism, faith and love for God and others. Genesis 1:27
