John 14:1

Resting With Jesus ~

When your heart is troubled,
when you’re feeling dejected
know that with Jesus . . .
you will never be rejected.

When your soul is dismayed,
when you’re feeling depressed
know that with Jesus . . .
you will never be oppressed.

When your mind is dismayed
when you’re feeling frightful
know that with Jesus . . .
you will never be fearful.

When your spirit is discouraged,
when you’re feeling mirthless
know that with Jesus . . .
you will never be worthless.

When your heart is troubled,
when you’re feeling downcast
know that with Jesus . . .
you will never be an outcast!

and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.”

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.”
