Love Life. God has given us an abundant life. Jesus wants us to love it. Jesus wants us to have it. It is ours today.
Be free. God has given us freedom. Jesus wants us live a life of freedom from worry and anxiety. We are no longer the slaves of missing God’s goal for our life [sin].
Honor God. God is God. Jesus wants us to live a disciplined life devoted to God. We are created for His glory and not our selfish interests.
BE HAPPY! God is in a good mood today. Jesus wants us to be more than happy. Jesus shows us the way.
Don’t let yourself be burdened by negativity. God will take care of us. Jesus wants us to not be afraid. Jesus challenges us to fear not.
Here is the Jesus way to happiness
In Matthew 5 to 7, Yeshua [Jesus] lays out His Jesus Manifesto. The Greek word is μακάριος makariŏs, mak-ar´-ee-osh; pertaining to being happy with the implication of enjoying favorable circumstances.
Here is the Jesus way to happiness. The way isn’t what we think or the way the world would suggest. God’s goal is not one of pop psychology.
3 “Fortunate [Blessed] are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 “Fortunate [Blessed] are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 “Fortunate [Blessed] are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 “Fortunate [Blessed] are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
7 “Fortunate [Blessed] are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
8 “Fortunate [Blessed] are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
9 “Fortunate [Blessed] are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
10 “Fortunate [Blessed] are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Fortunate [Blessed] are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matthew 5:3-12
This one ministered to me
Be free. God has given us freedom. Jesus wants us live a life of freedom from worry and anxiety. We are no longer the slaves of missing God’s goal for our life [sin].

So I said to my friend “God is always in a good mood” and she disagreed because she said sometimes He is angry, and sometimes He weeps over sin. So I thought, and prayed and my conclusion (at this time) is God is always in the right mood, and because He is always good, He is always in a good mood!

So I had to write a poem…
Sight or Faith
He said “Have a stunning day in Paradise”
I looked at where I sit and questioned “where”
I read about the Garden God had fashioned
To me it looked so different than “here”
I envisioned that serpent ( at that time he had feet)
Likened him to a salesman poor and greedy
He fashioned words into a question, “Has God said”
And suddenly she felt so very needy
Everything the God promised now to her barren ground
As she tasted and shared now both naked they were found
Banished from this fertile land sweet labor now turned cruel
But God in His foreknowledge never once played a fool
When I espy the famine ground and think that all is lost
I turn my eyes to Calvary and focus on the cross
Where Jesus Christ the Son of God suffered and paid the price
And it doesn’t take a pair of dice to enter paradise
All it takes is saying yes to Him who never lies
And no matter how things may appear
You’ll be in paradise
