So much is going on in our lives but we must reflect on this statement – There are three essentials for a joyful life: 1. A FAITH to live by, 2. A SELF to live with; and 3. A PURPOSE to live for. Has your faith found a resting place?

Is your life built on the Solid Rock? Have you discovered God’s purpose and grace for creating you?  “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” (Philippians… 1:21)

May Christ be all and in all you do. Carry this musical truth with you –

Jesus is all the world to me, my life, my joy, my all; He is my strength from day to day, without Him I would fall. When I am sad, to Him I go, no other one can cheer me so; When I am sad, He makes me glad, He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, my Friend in trials sore; I go to Him for blessings, and He gives them over and o’er. He sends the sunshine and the rain, He sends the harvest’s golden grain; Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain, He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, and true to Him I’ll be; O how could I this Friend deny, when He’s so true to me? Following Him I know I’m right, He watches o’er me day and night; Following Him by day and night, He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, I want no better Friend; I trust Him now, I’ll trust Him when life’s fleeting days shall end. Beautiful life with such a Friend, beautiful life that has no end; Eternal life, eternal joy, He’s my Friend.
