ACHIEVING JOY THROUGH GOD 

Many people don't understand how spirituality can help them feel better. People want to be happy, but some look for it in things like meditation, routines, and substances. The peace they are looking for is really found in God.


The Bible tells us that God is the only one who can give us real peace and happiness. This means more than just feeling happy, it means having joy - a kind of deep happiness that lasts forever. How can we get this joy from God? It might be easier than you think!


1 John 4:16-18 says, 16 " And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. 17 In this, love is made complete with us so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because as he is, so also are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears is not complete in love.


“ YOU HAVE TO PUSH ON, LOVE IS ON THE WAY "


CAN YOU FIND TRUE PEACE?

True peace and happiness are found only in resting in the love of God. When we rest and dwell in love, we rest and dwell in God. As Psalm 16:11 says, You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures.


Ive searched for some time now, its hard to find peace like the peace that God gives. When you trust in God, you won't be scared! As it said in 1 John 4:16-18, There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear


God is responsible for everything. Taking care of our minds and feelings will make us happy and calm. If we trust that God is in charge, then we don't have to worry because he has control over everything.


We need to think about how this affects our lives every day.


“ WHY DO GOOD PEOPLE HAVE BAD DAYS? "


GOOD PEOPLE, HAVE BAD DAYS 

Not everyone understands Christianity correctly. People think being a Christian means bad things won't happen to you, but that is not true. Bad things still happen in our world with sin. Good people can have bad things happen to them. Rather, the advantage of living in God’s love is that when bad things do happen, you can make sense of them. As someone once said, Christianity does not mean that nothing bad will happen, it simply brings meaning and understanding to the bad things that do happen.


When you are living in the love of God, you can make sense of the bad things in your life because you know that they will all work out for your ultimate good in the end.


Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Likewise, Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”


What both of these verses mean is that God’s intention for you is not to bring evil to you or to have bad things happen to you. However, when they do because we live in a broken world, He takes those things and uses them in your life to bring you good, regardless of how evil they are.

“ GOD HAS GOOD PLANS FOR ME I WONT WORRY "


GOD HAS A PLAN FOR US 

Joseph's story is difficult. His brothers wanted to kill him, but sold him instead. He was put in jail for something he didn't do, but then became a powerful person. God uses even bad things for good - so although we may experience pain in life, God still loves us and will make everything work out!


Knowing this truth can help make you feel better. Even when life is hard, God loves you and makes good come out of it. How do you know this peace?


All you have to do is lean into God today. All it takes is opening yourself up to Him and spending time with Him in prayer. If you don’t know God, find somewhere quiet and reach out to Him like a friend or a father. Talk to Him about what’s going on in your life and ask to experience His love and peace. The very basis of Christianity is that God loved us so much that He sent His only Son to die on the cross to pay the price for our sins. Through Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, we can have new life in Him and life for eternity. This, my friends, is how we can find true peace, joy, and mental health in this life.

It is the ecology of these motifs that enunciates the theme: God's providential work with and through Jacob's dysfunctional family, preserving it and blessing others
