When we Come to our God in prayer and Supplication there should be no barriers around us, no facades or defenses! We can't fool God-He See's right into our heart and knows us inside and out! His healing Presence peels away the layers we have built around ourselves and He illuminates the darkness hidden in the deepest parts of our soul! Being authentic and transparent allows the weight of our pretenses to be lifted and all that remains is Peace, Consolation and Gratitude! The root of Joy is Gratefulness...it is not Joy that makes us Grateful It is Gratitude that makes us Joyful! Be Grateful for Who we are, Whose we are and What He has Done for us! Don't put on "airs" -Put on Christ and Be Who God Created us to be-Joy filled and Authentic! Love and prayers! ✝️
