Joyfulness

I want to do whatever that I must do from a heart of joy. That way, my work, or anything that I do is coming from a heart of love and no obligation. When I feel that I am obligated to do things, then it feels like I am toiling, and there is no enjoyment in the process. It makes it difficult to appreciate the process. I want whatever I do to come from a motivation of joyfulness.

The bible, 1Thessalonians 5:18, says, “In all things give thanks…” However, it is hard to give thanks for things that we do not value. We must see the value in the learning. What is it that I am going to gain from this activity? How will it assist me in my growth? I want to rise to a new level of maturity. Having the feeling of weariness and fatigue does not promote enthusiasm for the activity or work.

The Bible says in Matthew 12:34, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” If there is no joy in my heart for what I am doing, then I need to not do it. It is because I would not be speaking life into the thing that I am trying to produce. There is power in our thoughts and words. That is why we need to have enjoyable ideas that will deliver the speech that is joyful and then acceptable actions full of joy. Having the right heart’s disposition by knowing why we are doing the things that we do and then making sure that it is from a spirit of joy will produce success every time.

Goodness Rules! He who shuts his ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in his own time of need. Proverbs 21:13 TLB Lady Wisdom asks, “Why do you ignore the vulnerable and weak among you?” Jesus Christ in his ministry on Earth specially came to change the conditions of the poor and needy. He wanted them to know that they do not have to be poor anymore. The Bible says that He, Jesus went around doing good. He even fed the people and looked out for their well-being. Min istry to the poor is part of the Christian calling. We are to not overlook the poor. Something very troubling in our society is the disregard for the less fortunate. The spirit of greed seems to be rising in the places and institutions that were considered to be a support system for the needy. Churches, schools, hospitals, and government appear to be overtaken by individuals who only see them as ways to make money. It is abusive in nature. These institutions, which use to be people-focused, are now, profit-

Dr. Cindy Trimm my Spiritual Mentor The words of Dr. Cindy Trimm have guided me on my wisdom journey. Wisdom from the Elders - those who have already gone that way of difficult living can impart knowledge to us through their experiences and insights. They carry much knowledge so we shouldn't neglect what they have to say. We should pay attention to what was said. It might not necessarily apply to the present scenario situations that we experience today. Yet, there are nuggets of truth in their words. The elders (our parents and spiritual mentors) were probably referencing their time or era. Their understanding of the situation may be conceptualized from their point of reference. As I was reading Proverbs 1: 8 (AMP), “My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not reject the teaching of your mother.” These are the words of wisdom that spoke to my soul. A father's exultation requires wisdom. "My child listen when your father gives correction." We sh

"For the reverence and fear (respect) of God are basic to all wisdom. Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding. I, Wisdom will make the hours of your life more fruitful. Wisdom is its own reward, and if you scorn her, you hurt only yourself." Proverbs 9:10-12, Living Bible Lady Wisdom asks, “Who do you respect?” As a society we need to get back to basics. Acknowledging that there is a God, sets our feet on a solid foundation for life. It will produce boundaries for our daily living. It is like having a constitution for our lives. We know the truth – God is. He is the “I Am.” Having this respect for God, helps us to respect his creation, the world and everything that is in it. I think because we know that there is someone bigger and greater than us, compels us to be accountable to that person. Believing in God causes us to live with integrity. We are not just living for ourselves but also to please God. Our parents play a role in our lives as bein
