In case you have wondered why we are so cheerful around here, it may be because we rehearse the good news of our wrongs forgiven and our eternal salvation daily. Someone who is continually hearing and declaring such good news is bound to be cheerful, since there is no limit to the goodness of the news, there is no limit either to the gladness of the ones who receive and bear the news. Changing attitudes bring changing aptitudes which increase our altitudes which in turn broaden our perspectives into an eternal One. We are eager not so much for what will transpire but for Who will reveal Himself to be at the center of it all. His heart is bursting with things to share with each of us. There are yet unexplored places in our own souls into which He longs to lead each one of us. There are seemingly so few times in life when we actually feel like who we really are, so we must seize those moments and engrave them in our memories.

If we allow it, Lord, You are so good at making us feel like who we truly are.
