| My Loves enjoying a fountain in the park |
I've got peace like a river in my soul.
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river in my soul.
I've got love like the ocean
I've got love like the ocean
I've got love like the ocean in my soul.
I've got love like the ocean
I've got love like the ocean
I've got love like the ocean in my soul.
I've got joy like a fountain
I've got joy like a fountain
I've got joy like a fountain in my soul.
I've got joy like a fountain
I've got joy like a fountain
I've got joy like a fountain in my soul.

I have had this song stuck in my head all morning.
But honestly, today I am falling short in all three areas.
I have peace like a leaking faucet, it slowly and occasionally drips out.
I have love like a cup of water, there is only so much and then it is gone.
I have joy like well, like a normal person.
I am feeling humbled and called out because of this song that is stuck in my head. Where is my joy, peace and love coming from.
If I am honest, most days I give of myself and am left feeling empty. But there are some days that I get it right and I ask God's love and peace and joy to come and fill me and flow out of me so that I can give to others. Those days are when I end up having a really full day of giving and I fall asleep at night feeling thankful that God was the one giving and that it wasn't me. Because if it was me, I would have quit a long time before the day was finished.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6
The fear of God came on all the surrounding kingdoms when they heard how the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. And the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.
2 Chronicles 20:29-30
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Matthew 5:9
The Laws of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The Word of the Lord is pure, giving light to the eyes.
Psalm 19:8
casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.
Proverbs 14:12
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
It is the Spirit that gives life. The flesh is of no help. The words I speak to you are spirit and life.
John 6:63
