That Little Happy Feeling Inside Your Tummy

Now, we have all had those times when someone says or does something for us that really sets off our happy-dar (Pronunciation:  hæpi-dɑːr.  Definition:  A device similar to a radar that is implanted in every human being that alerts your heart and attitude when something makes you happy). 

Let me tell you something that you already know...
When someone writes you a letter, gives you a present or just does something nice towards you...
YOU FEEL GOOD!
This isn't just a self-help tool, BUT it is encouraging, biblical and really does help restore broken or damaged areas in your life.


Since the beginning of the year I have been blessed with many things that send my happy-dar tingling, buzzing and or even screaming.  Here are a few encouraging things that have helped me to realize truths God has created me to live in and also truths that He has spoken over me (and some over EVERYONE).  I have found these uplifting notes from friends and leaders here at the DTS in places ranging from my mailbox to my pillowcase to hanging on my door.







Do you have opportunities to encourage people through notes like these?  Anything from saying 'hi' and smiling to a stranger to telling someone you like their shoelaces to buying them a gift, if done with the right attitude, can make someone's minute, day, week or life.  Think about it.

Here is me speaking life into you from truths God, Himself has for you.
Psalm 139:13-18
- For you created my inmost being; 
   you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 
 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; 
   your works are wonderful, 
   I know that full well. 
 My frame was not hidden from you 
   when I was made in the secret place, 
   when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 
 Your eyes saw my unformed body; 
   all the days ordained for me were written in your book 
   before one of them came to be. 
 How precious to me are your thoughts, God! 
   How vast is the sum of them! 
 Were I to count them, 
   they would outnumber the grains of sand— 
   when I awake, I am still with you.
