Choose Joy ~

Today I’m choosing joy,
I will not be unhappy
today I’m making sure
nothing will make me grumpy.

I will not be overwhelmed,
instead I’ll be elated
no matter my circumstance
my spirit won’t get deflated.

Today I am choosing joy,
I’ll do more than just try
today I will make sure
happy tears are all I cry.

I’ll not feel sorry for myself,
or let my heart be troubled
I’ll let the gladness that I feel
burst through my worry bubble.

Today I am choosing joy,
I have the perfect remedy
today I’m going to Jesus . . .
for my happiness therapy!

John 17:13
King James Version

“And now come I to thee;
and these things I speak
in the world,
that they might have
my joy fulfilled in themselves.”

The Reason for My Hope

I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.

I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.

I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.

I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.

I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.

I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.

I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.

I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.

I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Peter 3:15
King James Version

"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:"

~ What Can Man Do? ~

I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.

I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.

I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.

I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.

I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!

~~~~~~~

Psalm 62:1-2

"Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
"He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."

~ Who I am in CHRIST ~

Who am I in Christ?

I am fearfully
and wonderfully made
I am His new creation
I am predestined
I am chosen
I am adopted
I am a son of God
I am God's child
I am a child of light
I am a child of day
I am God's bride
I am God's clay
I am God's future
I am God's hope
I am alive to God
I am destined
I am called

~~~~~~~~~~~

I am loved
I am bought with a price
I am redeemed
I am set free from sin
I am joined to the Lord
I am alive by grace
I am justified
I am forgiven
I am sanctified
I am reconciled
I am transformed
I am renewed
I am made perfect
I am dead to sin

~~~~~~~~~~~

I am a slave to righteousness
I am baptized with the Holy Spirit
I am a partner of Christ, Jesus
I am His temple
I am His building
I am His field
I am His branch
I am His follower
I am His fellow worker
I am His ambassador
I am the salt of the earth
I am the light of the world
I am sober-minded and watchful
I am armed
I am His warrior
I am His friend

~~~~~~~~~~~

I am being trained in righteousness
I am created for good works
I am a doer of the word
I am kind
I am humble
I am meek
I am patient
I am loving
I am fruitful
I am steadfast
I am gentle
I am faithful
I am never alone
I am never hungry
I am never thirsty

~~~~~~~~~~~

I am sealed for the day of redemption
I am called to eternal glory
I am the aroma of Christ to God
I am crucified with Christ
I am not ashamed
I am a sinner
I am forgiven
I am born again
and I am going to heaven!

Who are you without Christ?
