The Other Side

Mom's Flower Garden


Day 74
Push through to the other side of your mood to the place of thanksgiving. Here you will be able to lay everything down and find rest. Let my peace prevail. Let my Spirit saturate you. The dross will float up to the surface, and then let Me deal with it.

You need to come to this place every day, and as often as I call you. If you sek Me first, I will fill your life with the real treasures of the universe. I will make all things new.

Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus [1 Thessalonians 5:16-18].

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 [Psalm 100].

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us [2 Corinthians 4:7].
