Accept God's will and His eternal love: Strive to realize a state of inward happiness, independent of circumstances!

I look to Thee in every need,

And never look in vain;
I feel Thy touch, Eternal Love,
And all is well again:
The thought of Thee is mightier far
Than sin and pain and sorrow are.

—S. Longfellow

How can you live sweetly amid the vexatious things, the irritating things, the multitude of little worries and frets, which lie all along your way, and which you cannot evade? You cannot at present change your surroundings. Whatever kind of life you are to live, must be lived amid precisely the experiences in which you are now moving. Here you must win your victories or suffer your defeats. No restlessness or discontent can change your lot. Others may have other circumstances surrounding them, but here are yours. You had better make up your mind to accept what you cannot alter. You can live a beautiful life in the midst of your present circumstances.

—J. R. Miller

Strive to realize a state of inward happiness, independent of circumstances.

Accept God's will and His eternal love: Strive to realize a state of inward happiness, independent of circumstances! I love all these quotes I found. The Mornings with God App has some of the best quotes, prayers, Bible verses and reflections. It is all so true! We need to accept God's will be done, we need to follow Jesus and be like Him! I always say, we need to count our blessings all the time, be grateful, we need to pray to God, pray for others and our world. We need to stay positive, loving, and joyful in the Lord! Today unfortunately, we see a lot of very unhappy people. They are filled with hate, negativity, and living in misery. You see people always trying to keep up appearances with fancy houses, pristine yards, boats, RV's they have and like to show all they have, but then they smoke pot and every other word from their mouth is the F word. It is sad to see. They do not know God, reflect Jesus, go to church, read the Bible, and just hate so much. I know some people like this. You can email, call, or text them to be kind and show love, and they just ignore you and never write or call back. There is just so much indifference today, so much hate, and cancel culture. It is so sad to see all the apathy. Even from your own family. I guess that is why Jesus and God say, when you are called to follow them, just go, not looking back or going back to say anything, just go with Jesus! God has got us! Let go and let God! Turn it all over to Him! Don't be brought down by things of this world. It is frustrating when we have to pay so much in property taxes, and more than many around me, it seems unfair, I guess I am blessed God gave me so much, I never have to worry about anything. Oh, all the little worries, we face so many! God reminds us turn it all over to Him! Follow Jesus and reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him! Focus on your faith in the Lord! Stop sinning, do the best you can, accept your lot in life, God does promise us life eternal in Heaven with Him when we follow Jesus and love like Him! It is all about love! Got love?
