 Shine like Stars: New Resources

Where do our thoughts turn to when our mind is quiet? Do they look in regret at the past? Do they spiral to worry about things that might come to pass? Paul teaches us that rejoicing in the Lord actually guards your lives and relationships from the onset of anxious thoughts. Filling your mind with uplifting, positive thoughts, media, books, relationships and literature releases your heart to know the joy that is found in rejoicing in the Lord.
