Rejoice in Me Always!

Rejoice in Me always! No matter what is going on, you can rejoice in your Love-relationship with Me. This is the secret of being content in all circumstances. So many people dream of the day when they will finally be happy: when they are out of debt, when their children are out of trouble, when they have more leisure time, and so on. While they daydream, their moments are trickling into the ground like precious balm spilling wastefully from overturned bottles.

Fantasizing about future happiness will never bring fulfillment, because fantasy is unreality. Even though I am invisible, I am far more Real than the world you see around you. My reality is eternal and unchanging. Bring your moments to Me, and I will fill them with vibrant Joy. Now is the time to rejoice in My Presence!

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! … I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.- PHILIPPIANS 4:4, 12 

But you remain the same, and your years will never end.- PSALM 102:27

Are you living in the now? It is hard for us not to focus on the future and what we still need or want, but always focusing on what is yet to come will never bring us happiness to where we are at. The present time we are in, is the only thing that will happy. We must learn to be content in where we are at in life so that we can accept the joy God shines upon us.

No matter what situation you are in today, there is always someone out there who is worse off than you. When you feel like you have hit rock bottom, go out and do something that will help someone else less fortunate. Then, you will learn to live happily with what you have. This will also teach you to not take what you have in your life right now for granted. Yes tomorrow may be better than today, but how can you improve the here and now? Who out there can you help that will make their life better, because in return you will be a happier you as well! You will sing for joy at the work of His hands.

Rejoice in God, for He will remain the same in our lives no matter what day it is. He will bring us the joy we need.
