“So it took me a very long time in my life to get to a place to realize that happiness in my life was all in my choosing..that the key too happiness was in my pocket so to speak..Amen..that it did not lie in the hands of anything or anyone else that was in my life..Amen..because you see no one else can make us truly happy..I mean sure we may laugh with people and joke around and everything else in between..Amen..we can have the best job, loads of family and friends in our lives..we can have all sufficiency for everything that we need in life..and still not be happy..Amen..because happiness is not in anything or anyone..Amen..happiness only lies in the hands of our Lord..because the Lord alone is the giver of life..(Psalm 36:9)..Amen..He alone lives on the inside of us..He is the one that fixes everything for you and for me..no one can have that much..nor should we ever give anything or anyone that much power over us that they change us in a split second from happiness to complete and total despair all because of whatever the reason..Amen!”

“Because life is unpredictable and if we are trusting and believing so much in those things that are in our lives..then somehow we end up placing those things first place in our lives..and the Lord gets pushed down..and the Lord ends up taking second seat in our lives..other than first place as He should be..because when troubles come..and words hurt..and jobs end..and finances hit a rough spot..and life happens..Amen..then people are just people..their not the Lord..only God can help each of us..when we come to Him in all of who we are..and we are honest and open..because the Lord desires that we be just that..Amen..for we should not be all over the place in our emotions..and or our feelings..being back and forth and swayed so easily grabbing the bait that the enemy throws our ways..Amen..because our happiness is healing to our lives..Amen..that’s why the enemy tries to get us to a place as to where were not happy..or we pretend to be happy..and honestly are not..Amen..because in the book of Proverbs it tells us that a merry heart does good like a medicine..but a broken spirit dries our bones..(Proverbs 17:22)..Amen”

“So if you are stuck in some kind of rut and constantly pulled down ever so fast and ever so quickly by someone or something..then please by all means recognize that, that it is the enemy..and he is throwing the same ole bait in your life and you keep grabbing it..please stop..Amen..for once again to each of us we all have ONE short life to live..and once again why not live it well..not mad. not angry. not upset. not always crying. not always offended. not always emotional over it all. but happy! free! content! peaceful! loving! kind! giving! caring! and most of all shining the light of the Lord everywhere you go..lighting the pathway for others in their lives by your life that you are living..not walking around proclaiming who you serve! but just serving and letting others see a difference and the salt of the Lord that’s in us as it draws others to desire who it is we have in our lives..(Matthew 5:13-16)..which is Jesus Christ our Lord..Amen..for He alone is what makes the difference in us all..Amen..so the final conclusion too this all is don’t let others steal your happiness..your joy or your peace..don’t let these worldly possession take your happiness, your joy or your peace..Amen..but live a great life with Jesus..Amen..I love the song that says this, “And He walks with me and He talks with me and He tells me I am His own..and the ‘JOY’ we share as we tarry there none other has ever known..Amen!”

“So once again recognize that ole devil..and put him and keep him under your feet..quit grabbing it all that he gives..you don’t have to..Amen..Keep your mind on Jesus and all that He has done for you..Amen..keep your heart pure and clean..keep your hands and feet moving in the right ways and doing the right things..being mindful of living a life well for the Lord..Amen..not letting the enemy constantly control you and manipulate you and who you are..because we are sons and daughters of the King..and once again no one or nothing should ever have that much power over us..for we are free..and we are free indeed..so live there in your freedom..live there in your liberties wherewith Christ has made you free..(Galatians 5:1)..and know that whom the Son sets free is free indeed..(John 8:36)..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 ❤️
