Have you ever felt so LOW, because of what is happening or because of what is not happening in your life, that you just can't get UP? You wonder how it is even possible to GET UP, but you know that you can't stay where you are. GET UP anyway! Make a JOYFUL noise. A noise that makes your whole body become alive, when your whole body feels lifeless. But what if you don't FEEL like making a JOYFUL noise, until you FEEL JOY? Do it anyway, because JOY is tucked deep down inside

What if JOY isn't a figment of your imagination? What if JOY becomes so REAL that you can't BELIEVE that you can actually BE JOYFUL when there is nothing that you see or feel that has any JOY. JOY is REAL. It is closer than you can ever imagine. Ready. Get Set Go. "Celebrate GOD all day, every day. I mean, revel in HIM!"* Don't you SEE HIM. Look at the trees. Listen to the birds.

GOD IS THE FATHER of ALL. GOD IS THE PERFECT FATHER of ALL. Who would I be WITHOUT GOD THE FATHER? I wouldn't be here. You wouldn't be here. What if today we all took the time to celebrate OUR FATHER who art in HEAVEN, and remember HIS FAITHFULNESS! GREAT IS HIS FAITHFULNESS as GOD keeps reminding me that HE has never left me, even when others have. GOD keeps reminding me that HE has always LOVED me, even when others haven't. GOD keeps reminding me that HE has always been

You become so STILL that you HEAR the soft whisper to your SOUL: "KNOW ME, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU." The words seemed familiar, yet different. And so I asked, "Is that YOU, GOD?" Deep down, I knew the answer. Because what I heard were not merely words— I EXPERIENCED GOD. A surreal experience.
