“Drive your own car!”

“So I have been thinking about happiness in life..and I have been thinking about my own life and the way that most of the time when I wasn’t happy or I would get discouraged about life or whatever was taking place was as well the time when I decided to let someone else drive my car of life so to speak..Amen..I mean when I gave up my self and gave someone else my keys..Amen..in other words I placed over in someone else’s hands my happiness in life..Amen..and how many of you know that our happiness in life comes from us and our choices in life..Amen..because again how many of you know that we should never and I mean ever rely on others to keep us and make us happy in life..because if we do than we will be very disappointed in our lives..and again first and foremost that is NOT fair to anyone else in your life..Amen..because that is a very heavy load to carry for any one..it’s not someone else’s responsibility to keep and make us happy..because our disillusion of what we’re expecting at all times from others will come to us being up and down in life..because no one can make and keep anyone happy..because people are busy with their own lives..and their happiness..it’s not anyone’s responsibility or our responsibility yet once again to keep others happy and make others happy at all times..Amen..because if we do this we are placing people in the place of the Lord..for again God is the one in whom gives us joy..Psalm 16:11..Amen..see our happiness in life is that of our inward man..2 Corinthians 4:16..it’s what we decide to give away in our lives to do..to think about..everything..Amen..because again so many relationships end in life..and in marriages all for the simple fact of others wanting their spouse and their friends to make and keep them happy..and when their doing what you want..all the while wearing themselves out in doing so..than others stay happy..but as soon as they fall short from what your expecting of them..than you, yourself fall apart..you get angry..you get mad..you get upset..you throw a fit..you cry..you make yourself a victim..and in which case you are not a victim..Amen..but its all because you place your happiness in the hands of someone else..and guys I can be the first to tell you that people cannot keep and or make us happy at all times..and people are not perfect..they will disappoint and fall short..just as we ourselves do..Amen..because we all are this way in life..so don’t ever give your keys to your life..to you car over in the hands of anyone else..happiness is your ride in life..and you have to be willing to drive your own car..Amen!”

“So if that is you today..than pray about it to the Lord..and release people from having that huge and heavy responsibility..because it’s not healthy for any one and or any one’s relationships in life..so again let us all help ourselves by helping ourselves to be friends with ourselves in life..let us enjoy our own company not always needing or clinging to someone just to be able to enjoy this life that God our Father has given to us to enjoy..for again life is beautiful and so very beautiful at that..and life is ours for the taking..so choose to daily find ways and things to do that excite you in life..if again it is going to your favorite spot just to enjoy the day..to having a nice milkshake..to watching a good movie..to simply cooking your favorite meal..baking a great dessert..I don’t know what you like..but whatever it is find those things..and than get up and go get them..set the course of your day..always plan it out what your going to do..don’t just let life happen..but make it happen..and we do this for ourselves..no one else can do this for us..Amen..so today release those loved ones of yours..and let them be free from this heavy burden that you may have placed on them..so we ask the Lord to renew our minds..Romans 12:2..to fill us up and help us to appreciate our lives..this beautiful gift that He alone has given for each of us to take..and to drive for our own selves..because you see Jesus is there riding along in life with us..and Jesus is the only one in whom we need for our freedom..for our happiness..and for us too enjoy life and life to the fullest..so go right ahead and grab your keys and go for a nice ride..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that 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 ❤️
