LOVE

Let's practice real love.  This is the only way we"lll know we're living truly, living in God's reality.  It's also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism...For God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves.  And friends, once that's taken care of and we're no longer accusing or condemning ourselves, we're bold and free before  God!
                    John 3:18-21  THE MESSAGE

JOY

In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade.  Through us, he brings knowledge of Christ.  Everywhere we go, people breathe in the exquisite fragrance.  Because of Christ, we give off a sweet scent rising to God, which is recognized by those on the way of salvation--an aroma redolent with life.  2 Corinthians 2:14,15  THE MESSAGE

I saw God before me for all time.  Nothing can shake me; he's right by my side.  I'm glad from the inside out, ecstatic; I've pitched my tent in the land of hope... You've got my feet on the life-path with sun-joy all around.  Acts:2:25-28

WORRY

Don't fret or worry.  Instead of worrying, pray.  Let petitions and patience shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.  Before you know it, a sense of God's  wholeness, everything coming together for good,  will come and settle you down.  It's wonderful what happens when God displaces  worry at the center of yourlife.Phillippians 4:6,7   THE MESSAGE
