Words From Jesus: March 4th

The happiness of the spirit is far above the happiness of the flesh, for the happiness of the spirit is something you will always have with you. It is something that will never end. The loneliest nights or the darkest clouds can’t take it away from you.

The happiness of the flesh is temporal and a fleeting feeling.—It comes and goes with your mood, with your surroundings, with the physical things that you see, touch and feel. But the happiness of the spirit comes from knowing that I am your Savior, and that I care.

The happiness that I give is as constant as the sun. When the sun sets at night and disappears beneath the horizon, do you worry that it has left forever? Do you say to another, “There is no more sun in our lives”? No, it is constant, always there. Though the night comes and you cannot see it, you never doubt its existence, nor that it will rise the next morning. So is the happiness of spirit—though ever-present, the night comes and you lose sight of it. That is the time to trust and rest until morning, until it comes into sight again.

Daily Praise: March 4th

I praise the power of Your Spirit. I praise You when my hands are lifted up. I praise You by calling on Your name. I praise You when I say Your name—Jesus.

I praise You by asking You to use me in spite of my weakness. Use me as I am for Your glory. Make even my faults and shortcomings magnify how great You are, because You can use a nothing like me. What greater testimony is there to show how powerful You are, Jesus, than that You can use not only me, but even the rocks and the dust to praise Your name? All Your creation proves Your existence and proclaims how great and wonderful You are.

Your love proves Your existence. Your love that stoops to save, to heal, to touch us, to forgive us, proves how great You are. It glorifies Your existence both to those who know You and to those who don't know You.
