Sunshine in My Soul

“For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” (2 Cor 4:6)

God has illuminated our hearts with the knowledge of His glory, revealed in the face of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is our guiding light. He has given us sunshine in our souls. God desires to provide for our total well-being—spiritually, physically, and materially (3 John 2).

Mental and emotional as well as physical health are of major concern in our stressful world.

Guard Your Heart

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Prov 4:23 NIV)

Love, hatred, happiness, and depression are issues of the heart. What a person is on the inside has more impact on his emotions than his circumstances. In fact, all areas of our life are direct reflections of our heart—everything we do flows from it.

The Scripture teaches us to guard our heart against several things: Do not set your heart on riches (Ps 62:10); do not take to heart everything people say (Eccl 7:21); do not praise yourself (Prov 27:21); do not worry (1 Pet 5:7).

Let us ponder the path of our faith journey from six perspectives:
