Living By God’s Principles Produces Love, Joy and Peace
Part Two—
Get rid of grudges everyday.
Ephesians 4:26 says if you’re angry, don’t sin by nursing a grudge. “Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath.” Get over it quickly, for when you are angry, you give foothold to the devil.
Spend some time every day getting to be more intimate with your spouse, your children your parents your brothers or sisters, because family harmony is essential to your mental and spiritual health. Unresolved family conflicts will destroy you!
Spend some time each week with committed Christians who are full of the spirit.
Proverbs 13:20 says, “He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools will be destroyed.” Get with people of like precious faith and fellowship with them. When you run with a group of lounge lizards, you’ll be a lounge lizard. When you associate with crooks, you’ll be a crook. You want to be depressed? Go in business with a crook. You don’ have friends? The Bible says that if you want friends, you must show yourself friendly Proverbs 18:24.
Go to work on something that brings personal satisfaction to you.
The three faces of happiness are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
Do something nice for a special person every week.
“Give and it shall be given unto you” Luke 6:38. What do you want other people to give to you? Then give that to them. It can by your time, it can be your love, it can be flowers, it can be a card, or it can be a bowl of red beans, but give something special on a regular basis. You’ll find that by giving your life away, you’ll find it.
