Qualities to have joy one day at a time

​Hello everyone,
 
I hope all is well and everyone is having a good day.  We all are living on our journey trying to do the best that we know how.  There are three important qualities that will help us to have good days while on our journey and they are:  Loving God, Loving Yourself and Loving People.  This is what will help us serve better, be the person that God wants us to be and be an image of Jesus Christ.
 
It’s very important that we are living our lives with integrity and being an example for God because that’s the mission set by Him to be disciples.  Otherwise, we’re going to have some bad days on our journey.  For me, loving God is the first step because God said without Him, we are nothing.  We experience that when stress comes, and when our lives become a mess.  God teaches us wisdom and help us to understand things so that we can serve.  Loving God has helped me to try each day to be a better person even through my faults.  I have gained a relationship with Him, and He has taught me to have faith, give Him my burdens and trust Him through all things.  He also taught me to have confidence in myself and love me so that’s very important because He’s working in our lives, and we have to stand up for ourselves and at times for what’s right and just to benefit the Body of Christ.  In loving God and loving ourselves, we have to learn to love people through it all as well because we all have something that we’re going through and we all need each other.  It’s very important to love people unconditional because people need hope, and we really don’t know what people are going through.  The whole purpose of living is to serve and to be the light so if we’re not loving people, how can they see Jesus in us?
 
Sometimes we think we know it all and don’t even know where we’re going. I say this all the time that it’s not about us and we all need to refresh our relationship with God daily because when we don’t treat people the way we want to be treated, we damage the body and put a pause on our lives.  It’s just that simple.  Sometimes life may seem like everything is good but when we don’t follow Him, we’re headed for destruction.  Let’s learn to know what’s important in life and be the person that God has called us to be so that we can have joyful days one day at a time.
 
Amen and Thank You Lord
