October 5, 2014 (Presence) October 5, 2007 (Past) Be A Cheerful Christian Its Finished 2 Corinthians 9:7, Each person should do as he decided in his heart - not out of regret or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver. Proverbs 15:15 says, A cheerful heart has a continual feast. On some days, as every woman knows, its hard to be cheerful. Sometimes, as the demands of the world increase and our energy sags, we feel less like cheering up and more like tearing up. But even in our darkest hours, we can turn to God, and He will give us comfort. Few things in life are more sad, or, for that matter, more absurd, than a grumpy Christian. Christ promises us lives of abundance and joy, but He does not force His joy upon us. We must claim His joy for ourselves, and when we do, Jesus, in turn, fills our spirits with His power and His love. How can we receive from Christ the joy that is rightful ours? By giving Him what is rightfully His: our hearts and our souls. When we earnestly commit ourselves to the Savior of mankind, and when we place Jesus at the center of our lives and trust Him as our personal Savior, He will transform us, not just for today, but for all eternity. Then we, as Gods children, can share Christs joy and His message with a world that needs both. Dear Lord, You have given me so many reasons to celebrate. Today, let me choose an attitude of cheerfulness. Let me be a joyful Christian, Lord, quick to smile and slow to anger. And, let me share Your goodness with all whom I meet so that Your love might shine in me and through me. Amen Revelation 3:8,11 The message to the Church in Philadelphia I know all things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can shut. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me. Jesus love me. Verse 11, Look, I am coming quickly. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown. Amen
