Everyone has times when they feel weak
or discouraged in life.
you don't have to live that way!
You can be strong in the Lord and His power.
You don't have to walk around defeated and depressed.
You can have joy today! In fact, the bible tells us that the joy of the Lord is our strength. God's joy isn't based on circumstances. It's not based on the news, the stock market or the housing economy.
Your Joy is based on Him. When you think about what He's done for you that He's given you life, that He's cast your sins as far as the east is from the west- you can't help but get happy! You can't help but have joy inside of you. That supernatural joy on the inside of you gives you supernatrual strength. The enemy can't take away what God has given you deep on the inside. So put a smile on your face today rejoice in the Lord no matter what battles you may be facing. The Joy of the Lord will give you strength, and you'll live the life of victory God has promised you!

You can't buy precious memories
with silver or with gold,
They come to us without a price
As the years of life unfold.
I've longed for many things in life,
Some with hidden throns of pain.
Knowing what was best for me,
God sent both sunshine and rain.
Hard times teach us to appreciate
Good times when they come along,
If all of life was fun and pleasure,
How could we ever grow strong?
God in His infinite wisdom
Has given me many good years,
Taught me to suffer with others,
To feel their sorrows and tears.
So if you want precious memories
AS the years of life unfold,
Learn how to love one another,
It's worth more than silver or gold.
