Jesus said, “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33)

It is our human nature to expect to be happy in the future, after some event that we are planning, bills are paid or  kids graduate. This is not positive thinking and we are denying our own happiness now by not being full of joy here in the present. Be present in your life. The best way to be joyful is to be full of gratitude for everything in your life. Even the things that bring us heartache are bringing us closer to God and our place in heaven. Happiness is a choice. Choose happiness. Have gratitude. Be Happy today!

“Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.”

Pursue love and earnestly desire the spiritual gift…….

During hard times, I find myself toiling over the injustices of the world, why are children abused, why do so many people turn their head while it goes on… we can not get bogged down by evil. We must pursue love and we must pursue it fiercely not only for ourselves but for others, we should be an example of love, fierce love for our Lord,  for our brothers and sisters in Christ.
