SO GOD CREATED MANKIND IN HIS OWN IMAGE, IN THE IMAGE OF GOD HE CREATED THEM; MALE AND FEMALE HE CREATED THEM. ( GENESIS 1:27 *NIV )
We are indeed made in God's image. When you think about that it means, God has feelings and emotions just like we do. Now that means that God can experience anger just as we sometimes do. Remember Noah's Flood, as well as, Sodom & Gomorrah just to name two. How about Jesus in the Temple with the money changers, now that was righteous indignation indeed!
Then there is Love, who has more Love than our Heavenly Father; FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. ( JOHN 3:16 ) AND WE HAVE KNOWN AND BELIEVED THE THE LOVE THAT GOD HAS FOR US. GOD IS LOVE. ( 1 JOHN 4:16 )
God also experiences sorrow, remember when Jesus went to raise Lazarus from the dead? Is it not written that first; JESUS WEPT, ( JOHN 11:35 ) then He raised Lazarus from the dead!
So, when you think about God remember He is your Loving, Caring, Heavenly Father. A Father who understands, and is always there for you no matter what. One that you may always turn to with all of your troubles and sorrows, for He truly understands!
Therefore always tell God how much you love Him when you pray, and never be afraid to share anything with Him! After all; THE LORD YOUR GOD IS WITH YOU, THE MIGHTY WARRIOR WHO SAVES. HE WILL TAKE GREAT DELIGHT IN YOU; IN HIS LOVE HE WILL NO LONGER REBUKE YOU, BUT WILL REJOICE OVER YOU WITH SINGING. Amen. ( ZEPHANIAH 3:17 )

EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE, COMING DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF THE HEAVENLY LIGHTS, WHO DOES NOT CHANGE LIKE SHIFTING SHADOWS. ( JAMES 1:17 *NIV )
It is important to remember that our many blessings are from our Heavenly Father. Therefore we should count our blessings and thank Him for them daily; ALWAYS GIVING THANKS TO GOD THE FATHER FOR EVERYTHING, IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. ( EPHESIANS 5:20 )
Now the following poem sums this up much better then I could! I hope that you will enjoy it!
DRINKING FROM MY SAUCER
I've never made a fortune And its probably to late now, But I don't worry about that much I'm happy anyhow.
And as I go along life's way I'm reaping better than I sow. I'm drinking from my saucer 'Cause my cup has overflowed!
Haven't got a lot of riches And sometimes the going's tough, But I've got loving ones around me And that makes me rich enough.
I thank God for His blessings And the mercies He's bestowed. I'm drinking from my saucer 'Cause my cup has overflowed!
Oh, I remember times when things went wrong And my faith wore somewhat thin. But all at once the dark clouds broke And sun peeped through again.
So Lord, help me not to gripe About the tough rows that I've hoed. I'm drinking from my saucer "Cause my cup has overflowed!
If God gives me strength and courage When the way grows steep and rough, I'll not ask for other blessings I'm already blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy To help others bear their loads, Them I'll keep drinking from my saucer 'Cause my cup has overflowed!

Therefore; THANKS BE TO GOD FOR HIS WONDERFUL GIFT. For through Him all blessings flow indeed. Amen. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 9:15 )

HE WHO HEEDS THE WORD WISELY WILL FIND GOOD, AND WHOEVER TRUSTS IN THE LORD, HAPPY IS HE. ( PROVERBS 16:20 *NKJV )
Never let the enemy steal your joy and leave you downcast! Instead enjoy what God has given you, for HAPPY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN SUCH A STATE; HAPPY ARE THE PEOPLE WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD! ( PSALM 144:15 )
Now when we have negative thoughts it draws negative results into our lives. Likewise, when we think positive thoughts we draw positive results in as well!
After all when we are downcast it brings on depression, worry and anxiety. All of those things are known to cause health problems. So always think positive for A MERRY HEART DOES GOOD, LIKE MEDICINE, BUT A BROKEN SPIRIT DRIES THE BONES. ( PROVERBS 17:22 )
Now I know that, MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT THE LORD DELIVERS HIM OUT OF THEM ALL. ( PSALM 34:19 ) So again, do not let the enemy steal your joy on any day. For you know that YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR. ( 1 PETER 5:8 )
So, enjoy what God has planned for you, and show that beautiful smile of yours. For when you smile it shows God's joy within you! Amen.
