If you did so on a regular basis, those balloons would last for months, bringing happiness and joy to all who saw them.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-family:Arial Black;color:#0000ff;font-size:medium;\">The same principle is true regarding your lives. Throughout the day, no matter how filled we are at the start, we &#8221; leak&#8221;, we get pressured or stressed; life happens. You get stuck in traffic, and a little helium goes out. You find out you didn&#8217;t get the contract you were hoping for, and a little more escapes your balloon. You get home at the end of a day and find out your child is not feeling well and you must deal with that. The dog got into the trash, you to clean up the mess, and your balloon loses a little more of its shape. <\/span><span style=\"font-family:Arial Black;color:#0000ff;font-size:medium;\">The only way to stay full and keep your joy and peace is to keep this song of praise in your heart, and when you do this, you are continually you are continually filled up with God&#8217;s love , joy and peace.<\/span><span style=\"font-family:Arial Black;color:#0000ff;font-size:medium;\">This isn&#8217;t just about music, this is an attitude. In our thoughts, we are grateful. We are excited about the future. We are expecting good things from God, so we allow a song to play, continually in our minds.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>.<\/div>\n<div>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\u00a0<\/div>\n<h3>.<\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#ff0000;\"><strong>INSPIRING WORDS BELOW, JESUS\/PLUS BIBLE QUOTES:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<p>Seek My Facemore and more. You are really just beginning your journey of intimacy with Me. It is not an easy road, but it is a delightful and privileged way: a treasure hunt. I am the Treasure, and the Glory of My Presence glistens and shimmers along the way. Hardships are part of the journey too. I mete them out ever so carefully, in just the right dosage, with a tenderness you can hardly imagine. Do not recoil from afflictions, since they are among My most favored gifts. Trust Me and don\u2019t be afraid, for I am your Strength and Song.\u00a0 My heart says of you, \u201cSeek his face!\u201d Your face, Lord, I will seek.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\n\u2014Psalm 27:8But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.<br \/>\n\u20142 Corinthians 4:7\u201cSurely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014Isaiah 12:2I am ever so near you, hovering over your shoulder, reading every thought. People think that thoughts are fleeting and worthless, but yours are precious to Me. I smile when you think lovingly of Me. My Spirit, who lives within you, helps you to think My thoughts. As your thinking goes, so goes your entire being.Let Me be your positive Focus. When you look to Me, knowing Me as God with you, you experience Joy. This is according to My ancient design, when I first crafted man. Modern man seeks his positive focus elsewhere: in sports, sensations, acquiring new possessions. Advertising capitalizes on the longing of people for a positive focus in their lives. I planted that longing in human souls, knowing that only I could fully satisfy it. Delight yourself in Me; let Me become the Desire of your heart.\u201cThe virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel\u201d\u2014which means, \u201cGod with us.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014Matthew 1:23Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:medium;\">*******<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong><span style=\"color:#ff00ff;\">Please come back and visit my Inspirational Station messages here\u2026.. <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong><span style=\"color:#ff00ff;\">and please leave your<\/span> <span style=\"color:#ff00ff;\">valued comments !
