What a challenge! It’s really beyond our human capacity / capability. Nevertheless, WE ARE more than mere human beings & that’s the key.
WE ARE to ‘look beyond ourselves’. I’m referencing here the Booklet / e-Book: ‘FIT’ for Purpose / The “GLOW” of Happiness. Note: the title / subtitle (stated here) are set out in reverse order, as we try to make sense of same, to address the tasks facing us.
Here is your: ‘present moment’ keep “FIT” programme:
Flee to God always;
Invoke God’s help constantly;
Thank God in everything.
Now, that’s half the battle, taken care of. But where do we find the “LOOK GOOD” formula? It’s ‘hidden’ within an ‘intimate’ translation of the “GLOW” concept:
God Loves Our Worth
He created us: our GOODNESS, our LOVABLENESS, our OPENNESS, our WORTHWHILENESS: (in summary): our “GLOW” elements. WE ARE made in His images & likeness. Consequently, He wants to shine out through each of us, every day (despite all our trials, troubles & tribulations).
Where can we seek this very special ‘treasure’? Here is the answer: “God will meet all your needs according to His glorious richness in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).
Note: it’s NOT according to your needs / NOT according to your merits / NOT according to how good you have been / NOT according to how hard you work / NOT according to how many resolutions you have made. It’s “according to the richness in Christ Jesus”. He, ALONE, gives us that inner “GLOW” feeling.
Footnote re: Who ’WE ARE’? As Christians (i.e. followers of Jesus Christ) WE ARE “children of God” (1 John 3: 1-2).
