From this moment on, i choose to be joyful and joyful alone in all my circumstances.
Issues may rage,disappointments can abound, but i i will stand firm,
"For the Joy of the Lord is my Strength" -Nehemiah 8:10
Someone once said:
"When my flesh rears its ugly head and the temptation to somehow or other put creation above the Creator leads me to feel weak, wondering how I can possibly muster up the strength to be a “good Christian,” what I need to remember is that strength doesn't come from inside me, it comes from the joy I have in the Lord.
When I need strength, I can rely on the joy the Spirit produces in me. When my affections are all focused on God, temptation seems to lose its power.
When we fall in love, become infatuated or even excited about a new job, hobby or material blessing, our affections are naturally drawn to it. With the Creator of the universe and the Savior of my soul I have more than happiness, excitement or even infatuation - I have joy. This joy gives me strength not by building up my temptation-resisting muscles, but by transferring my attention and affections to the One who loves me."'
How true and thus henceforth if i ever forget what i say on this day. By all means fault me and remind me of what i have promised to do.
I shall be Sinecera EnCristo
