Be~Atitudes: Learning God's heart

Be~Atitudes
Learning God’s heart

True happiness comes when I find myself at the end of all my resources
And still fall short;
It is there that I turn to God and find all that he has for me.

True happiness comes when I grieve and mourn in my life;
That is where I find the complete comfort of the arms of God
around me.

True happiness comes when I choose to humble myself;
It is then that those around me are ready to listen.

True happiness comes when I choose to look at the things in my life that fall short of God’s word and I choose to change in spite of the pain of growth;
It is there that I am satisfied and at peace with myself and my world.

True happiness comes when I choose to show compassion to those around me instead of revenge;
It is there that I am given the compassion I desperately desire from God.

True happiness comes when I love without any hidden agenda;
It is then that I understand how God loves me.

True happiness comes when I choose to bring peace to an uncomfortable situation, setting aside my wants;
It is then that others will see my life as a follower of God.

True happiness comes when those around me cause me pain for no other reason than because I choose to live and follow God’s plan for me;
It is there that I see God’s protection and know that I am not alone.

I am the salt! It is by my life that those around me thirst for God. If I choose to not stay in fresh communion with God, I lose my flavor and have nothing to offer.

I am the light of the world! Without the current of the Holy Spirit flowing through my life, I am no more effective than a package of light bulbs sitting in a dark room.
