“Happiness isn’t depended upon who your with..what your doing..what you have…to what you don’t have…happiness is always and forever going to be an inside job..and that job is our own job..Amen..for happiness is something that is a gift from the Lord..for the bible says that the joy of the Lord it is our strength..(Nehemiah 8:10)..and that God loves it so much when we His children are happy and joyful children..when we think about all that God has done for us in our lives..how could we ever not be happy…for one the most glorious gift that our Father gave to us was Calvary..for by Calvary we have redemption for our sins..for the word says though are sins be a scarlet that we shall be white as snow..though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool…(Isaiah 1:18)..Amen..for you see Calvary is where happiness is found for us and our lives..for that is where our life began..and that as well is where our life will end…for it’s all about whether we accept it or whether we turn away..the choice is always ours..for the word says know you not that you are the temple of the living God..and that the spirit of God resides in you?..(1 Corinthians 3:16)..for you see the preaching of the cross is to them that perish is foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God..(1 Corinthians 1:18)..Amen..so for some they find happiness and pleasure in things..or in their money..or in their careers..or in their surroundings..but sooner or later the happiness ends..and they keep searching and seeking it out..for all that this world is honestly to goodness looking for is happiness..their always wanting happiness..but today my whole thought is guys we ourselves have to figure out our happiness in our life..we can’t rely on someone to give it to us..only the Lord can give that to each of us..only the Lord can fill us up to the overflow with His joy unspeakable and full of glory..Amen!”

“For only God satisfies and quenches all of them longings and thirsting’s of our souls…so today look to God for what you need in your life..don’t blame others for the way your life is going..but look to yourself and see if there is anyway that you can do something different in your life to bring you joy…slow down and just enjoy where your at in your life..for everyday the bible says Gods mercies are new for us..and that there new every morning..(Lamentations 3:22-23)..Amen..so know that joy begins with you and it begins with me..praying and working on that inside man of ours..for once again I will say this..when we are not right with who we are as a person on the inside..we are never right and can never be right with the people around us..so we work on us..we work on the areas that need working on..we work on not being so impatient..we work on being more loving and kind..we work on all of them fruits of the spirit…we work on the inside..Amen..for the Bible says that it’s what comes out from us that defiles us and who we are..it’s not the outside..but it’s always that inside..(Matthew 15:11)..Amen..for that needs cleaning up and polished up daily in all of our lives..for when it’s all cleaned up and fixed up..happiness honestly does reside and lives there within us..and joy comes forth like nothing we’ve ever known before..so let us help ourselves by helping ourselves be better with who we are as a person..for the older I get the more I begin to be content in whom the person it is that I am..because sometimes we ourselves are our own worst enemy..and we defeat ourselves all by what we say to ourselves..so speak kindly to who you are…don’t be little who you are..but try to speak to yourself the way you speak and talk to others..for yourself is listening to all that you say..and words are powerful…whether we speak them to someone else..or whether were speaking them to ourselves they still have the same effect..so be careful with what your saying..don’t just be slinging around a bunch of words..but get all filled up and stay filled up..and whatever you do keep shining the light of the Lord everywhere and anywhere it is that you yourself may go…because we can’t give away to anyone else what we ourselves don’t have..Praise the Lord..so make sure to have what you need..and if your lacking in an area..then pray about it and give it the Lord..for He will help us, each of us always and forever with whatever it is that were needing help with..so let us be happy..let us be content..and let us stay joyful..for there is nothing that speaks any louder for our Lord and for others..then a happy filled Christian…so let us be that salt and light…guiding and leading others into a life that’s filled and lived for Lord..shining and sharing Him and His glory..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 ❤️
