God hath made me to laugh,
so that all that hear will laugh with me.

He also made playful, smiling animals like the dolphin.
You enjoy His creation -- you love colorful flowers, smelling them, plucking them, weaving them like crowns, wreaths, bracelets, or giving them to your mom or dad.
GOD's SPIRIT makes you creative.
You are a well of inspiration -- other people hear you laugh, or see you create, and they (childlike ones, too) get creative -- inspired by your little works or nature.

Your path is always towards GOD.
You especially LOVE word play.

True children of GOD, love.
There is no spirit of demons in you.
If anything, they flee, knowing you belong to GOD.
There is only the HOLY SPIRIT in you.
We're not into world domination.
GOD rules our existence.
We obey His commands, as a child obeys his beloved FATHER.
SPIRIT keeps us inspired, creative, kind, energetic, purposeful.
We are taught patience, by GOD.
We are taught love, by JESUS.
We are taught everything, by SPIRIT.
We take everthing a step at a time -- GOD is organized -- we merely follow like a happy, devoted, adoring child.
We are content that Someone else does the thinking -- GOD.
All we have to do is obey, and pray to know what GOD's will is.
That makes us understand Scripture easily -- for all of GOD's commands are there.
Because we pray and obey, there are no blocks to our spiritual learning.
Life is really simple, if just believe in GOD.
Especially if you believe in His Son, JESUS.
And your heart is open to the teachings of SPIRIT.
One without the other won't do.
Lastly, we marvel at GOD's glorious GENIUS.
Leaves us all in the dust, where we all go back to anyway.
Anything else I left out?
Donchaworry.
Will keep adding, as I go along.
As SPIRIT inspires me each moment.
Which happens all the time anyway.
Only because I'm childlike.
A work in progress.
And thus, entirely teachable.
As you ought to be, too!
For now, this list would do.
And yes, we like words that rhyme.
It's the music of a writer's soul.
Keeps us in sync with GOD.
Who is the WORD, after all.
The Origin of everything.
