Rejoice!

 

True cheerfulness is the bloom of holiness, and joy in the Lord is its fragrance. 

⏤ Jonathan Edwards

Rejoice in the Lord always: [and] again I say, Rejoice. 

⏤ Philippians 4:4

We all need to bloom where we are planted and rejoice always! Yes, joy is our strength!  Today we see a lot of negative and unhappy people. They complain about everything, especially wanting lawlessness, chaos, and sin, thinking it is their right that all have to live in a world of greed and corruption, just so much lawlessness. The majority of people want law and order and God in their lives, but some think and push this mentality of not allowing God, Jesus, the Bible, or religion in peoples lives, work, schools, etc. It is sad to see. Our world without God is a mess, we have all seen it and lived it, especially the past four years here. When people push killing innocent unborn babies over rescue dogs there is a problem, no logic to it at all. Aren't human lives more important than animals and pets/rescue dogs? How can we think killing babies is acceptable? God gave us life so we should be rejoicing that always! Giving Him all the glory! Following Jesus, reflecting and imitating Him and living the best life we can with God in our hearts, blooming where we are planted! We need to be careful today not to join the hate club, the cancel culture group who instead of loving, talking, listening, and seeing all sides, cancel if you do not go along with their thinking and hate. We need to be all about being positive, loving, and joyful in the Lord in this life! Don't let hate, negativity, and misery take hold, don't fall to be a slave for Satan, be instead of servant for Christ. Don't take the bait of the haters, you can easily identify them, don't take their bait of hate, listen, don't take the bait, be about love, remain joyful, rejoice in the Lord, being loving like Jesus, but do not take the bait! Instead rejoice! Bloom where you are planted! Rejoice in the Lord! Be all about joy!
