Our spirit can be soaring but if we don’t make sure our soul -our will, emotions and thoughts are kept uplifted and prospering then the joy we can know in having a relationship with God can be hugely affected. Not only will we struggle in our walk with Jesus, we will more than likely start to beat ourselves up about the fact that we think we should be more joyful but aren’t. Thats where we need to realise the importance of ensuring our souls are being daily renewed and restored.
YESSSSS! Don't hang something on your wall because it matches your sofa! Don't buy a 'doo-dad' that means nothing to you to fill a space! It will take longer to finish your home but will be so much more rewarding if you love everything in your spaces!!!!! That is why I hate those little 'Bless Our Farmhouse" or "Live Laugh Love" signs. Such common CRAP!
