Good Days

When was your last really good day? Was it yesterday? Last week? You HAVE had a good day, haven't you?

Life is a series of ups and downs. Some days are good, some days are bad. I had a really good day on Friday. Today I am not feeling so good.

Do you think God has good days and bad days? I'm not sure. I'd say yes but I think God is above all these earthly classifications. God simply IS.

Today the sun is shining brightly. Quite a contrast to the weekend when it was cloudy, raining and snowing. Still, no matter what the weather, I have a list of things that I think make up a good day.

1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Hope
5. Faith

All five of these can be summed up in just one word - God. Think about it. When we place our hope and faith in God, we are at peace. In that peace we come to know love and the joy it brings, both in the giving of it and in the receiving.

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." - 1 Corinthians 13:13

Think about a wedding day. Whether it takes place in good weather or bad, it is the best of days. Is your spirit married to the bridegroom, Jesus?

When we place our faith in Jesus we are given ALL these things. It's like a wedding where two come together as one. Through our faith there is peace and joy and there is love and hope. There are no ups and downs really. There is simply God. And God is love.
