Re: Things not going well? Here's a "Verse of the Day."

Wonderful Bryan!
It was just a few minutes ago, on my way to work I prayed and asked God
"Father, why am I so funless? Is this how you created me, or ...?"

I find myself rejoicing in Him often these days and feel His joy
abundant in me, yet I show no emotion of it outwardly... and I was
becoming more and more self-aware that I might just appear quite dull in
my witnessing of His joy in me... so this verse really helped :)

Yet, I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation!
