He works out everything

"In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will." - Ephesians 1:11

everything, in this life.
is part of a plan

me sitting for exams,
going through this relationship
having a bout of one gloomy season...

its all part of a plan,
that will work out in the end,

because it is Christ at the center that holds everything together

Lord,
may you Will,
shape my purpose and goals.

give thanks

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

i wonder how he could stil be happy in prison,
eating his food with gratitude.

it's amazing,
the joy that he had inside his heart,

despite what was goin on around him
he still choose to give thanks

Joy

Joy comes from holiness.

Guilt is the enemy of it.

Joy is a product of obedience

"Joy is a serious business of heaven" - CS Lewis

When we worship in joy we bring heaven down

As a Chirstian, we have every reason to be joyful, regardless of the situation.

The joy of the Lord is our strength.

It can heal our bones

Mental stress

Postmodern problems deal more with mental stress due to expectations and the inability to reach them.

On contrary hardships apart from an easy comfortable life help shape ones character to be strong and them knowing their identity.

Work without complaining.

See the bigger picture.

Keep moving dont give up.

God loves you
