Folks, I’m no different than anyone else. We all have issues in this life. Circumstances put a ring in my nose and were jerking me around all over the place, up one minute and down the next. Mostly, down. When I finally got so overwhelmed with the things I was facing, I had to find an answer out of my problems. And, I found that Jesus is the only way out. I promise you. Jump off the seesaw of conditional living and get onto Jesus, The Rock. He will always remind you to be glad – always – in Him.
When you get free of the impact conditional living can have on your life, your mind, emotions, and spirit, you’re free, indeed.

It just dawned on me again that I’ve been battling so many health issues all my life, and this morning, I was feeling a little strange in my head again. I was kind of dizzy and tempted to take on fear. Nothing new there, right?…☺
I thought, “I’m not going to give into my circumstances.”
That’s when this song came to me. Thank You, Holy Spirit! Sooooooo, I cast all my cares on Jesus, found the precious, simple song on youtube and began singing it. Sure enough, He made me glad and put a smile on my face. It’s such a wonderful and liberating thing to learn “in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content (Philippians 4:11),” and to have the Holy Spirit enable you to count it (whatever is trying to steal your joy in the Lord) all joy (James 1:2-8). Hallelujah! Thank You for Your GREAT faithfulness, Jesus.
I Will Enter His Gates
By Leona Von Brethorst
I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart,
I will enter His courts with praise,
I will say this is the day that the Lord has made,
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
He has made me glad, He has made me glad,
I will rejoice for He has made me glad,
He has made me glad, He has made me glad,
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Psalm 100:4-5
God bless,
Mark
