Good Morning Garden

YOU CAN LIVE as close to Me as you choose. I set up no barriers between us; neither do I tear down barriers that you erect.

People tend to think their circumstances determine the quality of their lives. So they pour their energy into trying to control those situations. They feel happy when things are going well, and sad or frustrated when things don’t turn out as they’d hoped. They rarely question this correlation between their circumstances and feelings. Yet it is possible to be content in any and every situation.

Put more energy into trusting Me and enjoying My Presence. Don’t let your well-being depend on your circumstances. Instead, connect your joy to My precious promises:

I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.

I will meet all your needs according to My glorious riches.

Nothing in all creation will be able to separate you from My Love.  

Philippians 4:12    I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation.

I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing

praise to my God while I have my being.

How are we to rejoice in all things when life is full of so many heartaches and concerns? The answer is that “we” are not able to do this without trusting God and his promises. It is through God’s help that we are able to be content even when the world offers little or no contentment or happiness. In fact, if we remain close to God, nothing can take away our peace or joy. And nothing can separate us from God but us.

Un-separated,
