Thank God for unhappy moments; they are a symptom that something is amiss.

“The fruit of the flesh is...selfish ambition...The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace...” Galatians 5

Every unhappy moment can serve our awareness that something is not as it should be just as a fever tells us of some sickness. If there is no peace in my heart, God may be using it to call our attention to why. Joy is the intended nature state of the heart just as health is for our body—at least this is what God originally designed. When there is no inner joy this is just a symptom that we are heart sick. Of course “heart disease” is prevalent in our world. The cure is something as simple as turning from selfishness to a Spirit filled life. To put is another way, we give God His rightful place in our heart. Conversations Within ts 6/25/2012 (On the road)
