‘Joy doesn’t come from our circumstances, it comes from our God. Joy is in the Lord. Brokenness is in the world. As long as we are alive, both will coexist on earth.’
We need to acknowledge and grasp the difference between momentary happiness and deep-seated, god given joy.
We can have joy in all circumstances – even the worst circumstances. We are children of the most high God. We are loved by the most high God. If we centre ourselves on God,the joy of the Lord will come into that very centre and then emanate out into every other aspect of our lives.
Despite our circumstances, joy does come in the morning.

God can reach out and impact any aspect of our lives at any time with His love and His peace, all to His glory. We don’t even have to ask him to. He Knows what we need before we even pray it.
God is not just the God of big things and not just the God of small things but He is the God of ALL things.

In this world, everyone chooses what they want to believe. Some choose to believe in God, some in other gods and some choose to believe in themselves. Still others choose to believe in nothing at all. But we all choose, and we all believe in something.
That is where faith comes in. Faith is choosing to believe in that which is not seen, but that which we hope for with all our heart.
We need to choose to believe that God is the creator of the universe and everything in it.
We need to choose to believe that God desires to have a personal relationship with us – all of us. It is us that choose to either enter into this relationship or who choose not to.

We are all born to worship. We are all created by God and within us is a vacuum or void that can only be filled by God. When we know our creator, we truly know ourselves. And this ‘knowing’ comes through worship. Worship touches the deepest places of our hearts and it satisfies our souls.
Worship is not just music. Worship can look and feel very different for all of us, because we are all created to be different.
Worship begins with seeking God’s face. And it can go anywhere from there.

Sometimes we believe that we have been given a promise by God, and at the time our faith is enormous and we receive the promise with all the faith our heart can handle.
But then, as time goes by, our faith begins to wane and our trust is a little misplaced and even replaced with human doubt and disbelief.
We need to remember that His promises remain promises, and our Amen should remain our Amen, to the glory of God.

God has placed your purpose in the very core of your being. Your purpose is usually birthed out of your passions rather than your talents. Your life experiences prepare you for you purpose.
So if you have a dream that still beats deep within your heart, keep at it and don’t let it go. Your purpose may be about to emerge.
