Value of Concentration: Happiness Is A Choice

Memory Verse: Transform my thoughts, and fill my heart with JOY!

Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

How blessed I am, that I am an heir to the Kingdom of Heaven. The joy and happiness Your Presence brings me, is overwhelming.

This morning as I sip my Cup Of Fancy(Heath Bar Decaf), the sky sings your praises, through the yellows and golds emitted from the clouds.

The words,”Your Presence,” are the keys to a joyful and fruitful life. I have no idea how people live without you.

There are so many, who live in ignorance of your hope of salvation, or refuse to accept it.

My beloved sister always taught me….”Life begins when you make choices.”

Just as one makes choices for evil, immorality, and destruction; one can make choices for happiness. It all
depends on on your thought processes.

Depression is a real thing: been there, done that, conquered it. How?
*I admitted I had a problem.
*I started soaking my mind with THE WORD OF GOD!
*I followed my medical plan that my Christian Physician instructed.
*I quit wallowing in self-pity….AND FORCED MYSELF…to get involved in a project..TO BETTER MYSELF!
Even though my earthly father had mental issues, he gave us a tremendous work ethic; a desire to become more than wecould possibly imagine.
*I chose to be around friends who made me happy and supported me. As I got into building my new life, God created a web of Forever Friends around me; my Bible Study girls; The God Squad.
*God’s wisdom taught me the following: once you give yourself away, and begin to counsel others, a miraculous healing occurs within you.
*Be good to yourself. Allow yourself time to rest and be creative.aka…”Your God Space/War Room.”

I praise you, ABBA, for my spiritual, emotional, and physical transformation. However, it only occurred because I sought you like the “Woman with the issue of blood.” I was obedient to your direction.

Thank you, ABBA, for adding Joy and Color to my life in so many ways.

MY CHILD: JOY….comes through many different facets in life; family, community, food, entertainment, colors. However, the greatest joy comes through, A RELATIONSHIP WITH ME. Yes, family is everything. Nevertheless, it is only through the love, strength, and peace that I give can one truly handle any and all family situations. Once you realize that I AM …. THE TRUE JOY in your life, all of your problems, stresses, and worries will fall to the wayside. I will teach you the true joys in life. Allow colors to brighten your day and remember how infinitely you are loved. I love you.
Your,
ABBA, Father
