Happy All Day Long

"Three things I do every morning so I will be happy all day long. The first is to affirm the reality of Jesus Christ and to thank Him for His lordship. The second is to call to mind the reality of Satan, who will seek throughout the day to make me a miserable contradiction of evident joy. Third, I call to mind the gifts that are mine in Christ. If I live each day faithful to my gifts, developing and improving them, I find I am, indeed, a happy person. If I am sloppy and careless in developing my gifts, I find a predictable negativity fixing itself into my life." - Calvin Miller, "The Taste of Joy"
