Joy - Hope - Love

Faith Is...

Let Faith be Kind

Faith is Simple, Faith is Kind

live not by feelings all the time

They're misleading,

they make you disturbed

Don't leave Faith dormant,

make it a Verb.

With Faith on your side,

you don't have to strive

Just let it be Kind...

So Simple.

Faith is Simple

Faith is with you all the time

it does not have to feel sublime

It's so simple, let it be nimble

just activated trust

this one thing I must.

Trust Him today along life's way

Claim it NOW

give doubts a clout

It's really just that simple.

Enter into your Rest in God - This Rest is found in Faith.

Unfulfillment is not because of circumstances so much

but when we as His children have not discovered the

simplicity of Faith that is given to us and moving in it.

Hope Is...

Hope is a Cheerful Expectation

a cause for Celebration

True Hope works together with Faith.

Let not Hope be a negative

ie. "I hope it works out......"

but a Godly trait.

Hope can be Light in the darkness yes

but let it be more as you confess

"I know the outcome will be just fine"

and bring your emotions into line.

A Godly Hope can Lift your spirit

but you don't always have to feel it.

It needs to be nurtured by His Words

but in His Presence Sweetest heard.

Purpose to couple it with Faith

and remember not to leave things late.

Love Is...

Love is Considerate, Love is Kind

it does not say things out of line.

It's not offended or easily led

when to someone your heart is pledged.

Love does not find the need to correct

when your thoughts are different you let things rest.

Love is not demanding, seeking it's way

but the interest of others, an excellent way.

Love never rejoices at wrong

but likes to fill other's hearts with a song.

Love is Acting, not just in Words

yes, acts of kindness, the sweetest heard.

Love prays for others the things they desire.

Love fills your heart with Faith and Hope

even on a mountain slope

Love still believes and is ready to receive.

Joy Is...

Joy is something you afford

there is always room for more.

Joy delights to give applause

to our Great Triumphant Lord!

It does not rely on circumstances

and happiness based on certain chances.

Joy raises a Song and joins in the Throng

delights in the Dance, a Heavenly Romance.

The Angels join in where there's Laughter and Joy

the sons of men it's praise employ.

Joy often brings Peace and Sweet Release

a Smile upon each Face.

Peace Is...

Be of Good Cheer for I am Near

Peace is to be found in Me.

I'm your Savior, you're in My Favor

let this be a reality.

For as you Trust you will find Rest

and your life will be Blessed.

Make an effort to enter this Rest

it's yours since the day you confessed

Me as your Savior and your Lord

I want to give you More!

More of this Rest and Measureless Peace

in Me you'll find Release.

Seek me often in this way

it will become your Sweet refrain.

Praise Is...

Praise is a Mighty Fortress in God

with it many saints have trod.

It Glorifies our Risen Lord

Sing His Praises, do Applaud!

Lift your Voice, a daily Choice

Glorify and Magnify.

Praise with Joy, your spirit employ!

Stretch forth your hands, join Him in the Dance!

Songs and Laughter, He Loves to hear

Praise your God for He is Near.

Whosoever offers Praise Glorifies Me

and to the one who orders his conversation

I will show My Salvation.

Speak Words of Life and Words of Cheer

He'll honor them for He will Hear!

Strength Is...

Strength is so necessary in Life_ from day to day...

to see things through...for needed energy...

for confidence...for work and relationships...

There are different Hebrew words in the Bible

that give insight into what different types of Strength

God can give us in this life. He imparts certain strengths to us

encourages us and strengthens us for tasks

giving us confidence and courage!

David said that God clothed him with Strength

He also referred to God as his Strength

and that the JOY of The Lord can be our STRENGTH.

Paul speaks about being Strengthened on the inside...

and enabling us to do things by His Power - when ours falls short -

with JOY in our HEARTS...

OVERCOMING in life this way...and that JESUS stands at our

side so we can excel in Strength!

COMING!
