The Choice to Rejoice :D

Unconditional Love, I receive.

Tears from my eyes, I retrieve.

Deletion of my sins, I believe.

The throne of my life, I leave.

A dance for my King, I give.

A sacrifice of praise, I live!

I have the choice... and I will rejoice! =)

Jesus never said it would be easy... but He said it would be worth it! :-)

So I choose to rejoice always not because I will always be happy and satisfied with the present state of things, but because I believe, I hope for, and wait for that day when He will make all things beautiful, when He will make all things new!

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!"

(Philippians 4:4)

Cool Fact! God rejoices over us as well! =)

" The LORD your God is with you,

the Mighty Warrior who saves.

He will take great delight in you;

in his love he will no longer rebuke you,

but will rejoice over you with singing.”

(Zephaniah 3:17) =)

Have a joyful 2012!!! Let the Joy of the Lord be your strength =)

~~~Psalm 100~~~

"Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.

Worship the LORD with gladness;

come before him with joyful songs.

Know that the LORD is God.

It is he who made us, and we are his;

we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;

give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;

his faithfulness continues through all generations."
