RENEW YOUR JOY!
Honor and majesty are {found} in His presence;
strength and joy are {found} in His sanctuary.
I Chronicles 16:27
Emotional trauma drains people of their energy.
But the Word says,
“Be not grieved and depressed,
for the joy of the LORD is your strength and stronghold.”
{Nehemiah 8:10}
The devil wants to steal your joy because he knows that joy is your strength. He wants you to be weak so that you won’t resist the turmoil he sets against you. That is why sometimes we need each other.
Some days God will send messengers to build you up in faith and renew your joy. Some days He will send you to someone else who is in a weakened condition because Satan has been pounding on them. Be someone’s friend today. They may need a friend to stand beside them and encourage them and to lift them up and pray for them.
I’ve never made a fortune,
and it’s probably too late now.
But I don’t worry about that much,
I’m happy anyhow.
And as I go along life’s way,
I’m reaping better than I sowed.
I’m drinking from my saucer,
‘Cause my cup has overflowed.
Haven’t got a lot of riches,
and sometimes the going’s tough.
But I’ve got loving ones around me,
and that makes me rich enough.
I thank God for his blessings,
and the mercies He’s bestowed.
I’m drinking from my saucer,
’cause my cup has overflowed.
O, Remember times when things went wrong,
My faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke,
and sun peeped through again.
So Lord, help me not to gripe,
about the tough rows that I’ve hoed.
I’m drinking from my saucer,
“Cause my cup has overflowed.
If God gives me strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough.
I’ll not ask for other blessings,
I’m already blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy,
to help others bear their loads.
Then I’ll keep drinking from my saucer,
“Cause my cup has overflowed.
A LITTLE SMILE

This little smile somehow found its way,
Onto your screen to brighten your day.
So pass it along to each of your friends,
To remind them all that friendship never ends.
God Bless
