Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
The cosmos is interesting rather than perfect, and everything is not part of some greater plan, nor is all necessarily under control.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
There is no limit to joy. Happiness has no end. When you are standing in love of God, every cell in your body jumps for joy. You breathe in and out with the entire universe. In this state, your life is fulfilled.
Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name.
