Do you want to love your life and see good days? I know I do! When suffering comes, I will take it in stride, but I would not ask for it on purpose. Rather, I want to love life and see good days.
Here’s how:
  1. Speak the truth.
  2. Turn from evil.
  3. Do good.
  4. Pursue peace.

This is straight from the Bible. 1 Peter 3:10, “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.” 

 
1. Speak the truth – Do this when it is hard. This doesn’t mean that we should say everything is in our minds – that would be foolishness. But do not mislead or lie to cover up a the truth. 
2. Turn from evil – Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s not evil or unwise. Cannabis, smoking, drinking, consensual sex and gambling are all legal (at least in WA), but doesn’t mean they are acceptable to the Lord. 
3. Do good – Care for the poor, the widows, the immigrants, and the oppressed
4. Pursue peace – Don’t fight for hills not worth dying on! 
 
I want you to love life and see good days. Follow the above plan!
