WE CHOSE TO REFLECT JOY
WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, TRIALS BECOMES OUR STEPPING STONES.
IN THE MIDST OF STORMS, WE DO NOT FOCUS ON THE CHAOS, WE CHOOSE TO SEE THE BRIGHT DESIGN OF THE WORKS OF OUR MASTER JESUS, WHO IS THE LORD OF THE STORM.
AS WE SCAN HIS WORKS IN HOPE, & FAITH, ANXIETY GIVES WAY TO CALMNESS; AGITATION GIVES WAY TO PRAYER.WE BEGIN TO ENCOUNTER THAT INNER TRANQUILITY THAT THE WORLD CANNOT GIVE.
THE EXPRESSION OF THIS INNER PEACE IS THE OUTWARD JOY, PEACE, LOVE, & GOODNESS WE PROJECT, REFLECT, & SHARE.
OUR HAPPINESS THEN, IS NOT DEPENDENT ON THE HAPPENINGS AROUND US. JESUS CHRIST IS THE SOURCE OF OUR PEACE.
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.‌‌Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Php.4: 4-7.NIV
