Gratitude Believes ~
Gratitude believes God,
is in absolute control
it trusts His provision
with a meek, humble soul.
Gratitude shows God,
how much it is thankful
daily it has an attitude
of being heartily grateful.
Gratitude has true rest,
peace and contentment
for what life may bring
it holds no resentment.
Gratitude finds real joy,
upon the dawn of day
it shows God adoration
whatever He sends its way.
Gratitude if full of praise,
thankfulness and gladness
gratitude rejoices . . .
over God and His goodness!
~~~~~~~
This is the day
which the Lord hath made;
we will rejoice
and be glad in it.

Opt For Joy ~
Opt for joy,
it will not disappoint
if you do
it’ll be a turning point.
For joy always brings,
a sense of relief
as you give to Jesus
the cause of your grief.
Prefer joyfulness,
over being downtrodden
let the love of Jesus
make your smile broaden.
For happiness is a choice,
each day we can make
and rejoicing in the Lord
will cause a grin to break.
Choose joy,
you’ll be happier if you do
then just watch what Jesusย . . .
is willing to do for you!

and again I say, Rejoice.”

Danger Ahead ~
Life is full of danger,
challenges galore
problems too impossible
for us to ignore.
But, we who trust in God,
you’ll not see gloomy
for God is our refuge
when life gets stormy.
Life is full of perils,
hazards abounding
worries that leave
our hearts pounding.
But, we who trust in God,
rise over them and sing
for we have found our joy
in the strength He brings.
Life is full of risks,
unsafe and dangerous
but, we who trust in God
are always victorious!
~~~~~~~~
“But let all those that put
their trust in thee rejoice:
let them ever shout for joy,
because thou defendest them:
let them also that love
thy name be joyful in thee.”

Rejoicing Always ~
It’s hard to be rejoicing,
when things aren’t going right
it hard to give God thanks . . .
with so many battles to fight.
It’s hard to see God’s hand,
in the middle of the pain
it hard to be grateful
when all your joy is drained.
But we who have Jesus,
living inside of us
know how important it is
in Him to always trust.
For, to always be rejoicing,
takes prayer continually
and then our thanks to God
will come unceasingly.
It’s hard to be rejoicing,
with all that life brings . . .
but, we know it’s God will
to be thankful for all things!
~~~~~~~~
“Rejoice always,
pray without ceasing,
give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is the will of God
in Christ Jesus for you.”
