We all have a story. We all experience joy in life, but there can also be some setbacks and disappointment. The test is not just in the storms of life, but it is also in your survival. We are renewed everyday if we are listening and learning in the right environment. Are you happy? Really happy people do not have the best, they make the best out of whatever they’ve got. Every mistake that you’ve ever made is an opportunity for you to begin again. That is why we must practice faith everyday. A true spiritual being will love and never hate anybody. Laugh as much as you can. Your actions and conversation are your only faith. Relationships are gifts. The bible tells us that “Every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord.”
