Developing Inward Beauty
Proverbs 31:30
External beauty is ephemeral. Internal beauty is eternal. The former is attractive to the world; the latter is pleasing to God.Peter describes this inner beauty as a "gentle and quiet spirit" (1 Peter 3:4).

Mercy Beyond Misery
Luke 1:50
I have a dear friend who stayed by his wife's side for almost a year as she was dying with ovarian cancer. He told me of such occasions, when the Lord gave merciful relief from the pain. He said it wasalmost as if an angel of mercy hovered over their room.When we're suffering the consequences of unfair treatment, there is mercy with God.
When we're enduring the grief of loss, there is mercy.When we struggle with the limitations of a handicap, there is mercy.When we're hurting and in physical pain, there is mercy.

Joy Throughout Our Days
Ecclesiastes 11:8
Happiness is for today. Joy is available now. We are not to put it on hold.
Happiness isn't something that will secretly open up to us when we turn 55 or when we reach some goal or find the right marriage partner. Happiness is fornow. It is inseparably linked to the living Lord.
