Vision Forward with Stephen Schlabach

Joy, then, is not something temporary and beyond our grasp.

 

It is an abiding feeling of great pleasure and happiness that flows from an untainted source.

Love fills our spirit and lets us live in fullness and security.

 

No matter what,

You are loved!

You are love!

You give love!

You receive love!

 

Our hearts overflow with this golden divine substance called Love!

Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

 

Notice that these are fruits of the spirit. That means they come from the deepest most secure part of your being. The qualities of our character come from a spiritual place that protects them from the whim of circumstances and feelings.

When you stop to think about it. faith is such a gift. You have to just thank God for it.

Faith is so powerful that it lets us believe and that believing is more real than even the stuff going on around us.

Let your face radiate the true peace and joy that’s in in your heart. Smile, laugh, and enjoy the day. It’s contagious.

There is nothing that is in God’s purpose for your life, that He hasn’t also completely equipped you for.

A careful decision and plan about our time could be the most life changing thing someone could do for themselves.

Jesus said, "The kingdom is within you". Why are you trying to find what you need around you, then?
