For some happiness comes in many different forms..and for some they only find happiness in things and acquiring or assuming of more things in their life…but for children of God…we find and seem to find our happiness in the simple yet most treasurable things in life…we find happiness from our family and friends..we find contentment with having the necessities of life…we find happiness in the changing of weather…we find happiness in holding our babies…we find happiness in just the quiet alone times that we may have….but through everything we always come to understand that happiness is ours and can be ours daily..if we so desire it..because Jesus is our true lasting happiness..He gives us joy like nothing can ever will be able to do in all of this world…Jesus gives that true happiness..for we should always be happy…we should always seek out the Lord for that happiness..for we as christians represent the Lord…we represent who He is…and we try our best to model and follow after that..we try our best to stay close to the Lord…at all times..for the Bible says that in the Lords presence is joy unspeakable and at His right hand are pleasures for evermore..Psalm 16:11…so as a child of God we know where our help comes from..when the world is cruel…when things hurt…we always know that the joy of the Lord is our strength…Nehemiah 8:10..and we always know where to go to find rest for our weary souls and minds…we always know to lift up our eyes unto the hills from whence cometh our help for our help comes from the Lord in whom made the heavens and the earth..Psalm 121:1..and we always know to ask what it is that we so desire from Jesus..for the word says we have not because we ask not..James 4:3..so the Lord desires us to be fulfilled and sometimes it takes more than a little whisper of a prayer…sometimes it takes a little longer waiting in the Lords presence to get that joy that we need…to find that help that were seeking to get the strength were needing to keep on moving forward in life…but as well we understand that God is always with us..Deuteronomy 31:6..and that God is a very present help in time of need..Psalm 46:1…so never let the world get you down..and never forget to enter into the Lords presence…for when we go there to that place we change..and our whole outlook changes…the Lord begins to move and speak to us..in ways like none other…so find that joy in Jesus guys…don’t let this world make you bitter or angry…don’t let this world steal away your joy that Jesus desires that we have…but just go to the Lord in all sincerity…and ask of Him to fill you up and to place within you His joy, His peace and His happiness…for Gods children are a happy people…and I pray that we all are them happy christians…that we are a light shining ever so brightly to a lost and dying world…I pray we are that salt and light..Matthew 5:13-16…for all to see and for all to come after…seeking out just what it is that makes us so different than all of the rest…seeking out Jesus…for it is Jesus that makes us who we are and makes us them happy faith filled positive christians…so let us stay happy…let us stay stirred up…and let us always keep our fires burning with the Lords anointing and the lords presence and grace…In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray…Amen and Amen!….Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
