Great is your gladness
And rich is your reward
When you make life’s purpose
The choice is the Lord
The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.
-Proverbs 22:4
Act with humility
No one discovers the fullness
Or the greatness of God’s love

-Psalm 112:4 KJV

God’s presence is never beside you
As near as the reach of your hand
You have but to tell Him your troubles
There is nothing He won’t understand
You will show me the path to life, fullness of joy in your presence, the delight at your right hand forever..
-Psalm 16:11 NAB
Converse with God and also listen to Him.

We create in our mind

And so seldom find
You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.
-Psalm 128:2
Be a messenger of happiness.
