all things happen for a reason...

ok. shd hv said this the night b4 but yea everythin happens for a reason. We make choices not because of our situations and circumstances but because we hv to and we want to. Been web surfin since midnight(hahas and wat hv i been doin the whole day? wells aside frm staring blankly at the screen and doin mindless things, was cookin and stuff and somehow had the will to just do it) and somehow came across alot of encouragin articles. Oh ya had an interestin convo with my dad too and somehow i remembered this thing abt the prayer of Jabez.

1st Chronicles 4:10] And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

I remember lotsa things can happen if our lives are aligned with Him. ALl we gotta do is just to ask it ourselves and truly want it. Anyway m thinkin of some ppl who are feelin down and out. Sayin a lil prayer for ya peeps b4 I go to sleep. And I hope when u come by here u'll be blessed and know tat God will give u peace and joy and comfort. Even in ur trials and tribulations, cares and concerns you'll remember the Joy of the Lord within u.

"I think there is a difference between happiness and joy. Happiness is caused by things which happen around me, and circumstances will mar it, but joy flows right on through trouble; joy flows on through the dark; joy flows in the night as well as in the day; joy flows all through persecution and opposition; if flows right along, for it is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart; a secret spring which the world can't see and don't know anything about; but the Lord gives His people perpetual joy when they walk in obedience to Him."

D L Moody

interestin name for someone who understands joy. Anyway I know I've missed somethings back on my sunny island but i guess for a purpose... And yea only in obedience will we feel the joy. Tats why I rem Ps51:12 becoz once sin is in ur life u will miss that joy...

Ask and Pray. Start ur day right.
