Finding Joy

True happiness is not in getting everything you want, they way you want it and when you want it. True happiness is finding joy in everything, be it in a good circumstance or a bad one. And this I realized when I embraced the truth that the real and ONLY source of happiness is GOD.

Reflections on my Birthday :)

Every day is a gift from God. Every waking day is a step made closer to Him, to my Creator. Every breath that I breathe is a special blessing. Every wave or beating of my heart is a special reminder for me to value life at its fullest

This knowledge that comes from God makes me more secure. It makes me satisfied and content knowing that I am living under His grace, under His wing of protection and provision. Then I am led to the conclusion that I really don't have to want anything anymore. I have put into my heart to find joy in the minutest and smallest detail of my life. Just this and I am happy. Just the Lord in my heart and I am content.

And then I am thankful. Thankful to the Lord for the beauty and the wondrous miracles that this life can contain. Thankful that He has let me get a glimpse of the wonderful purpose He has for me. And Lord I pray to always walk with You for the rest of my life. Amen

Road to True Happiness. :)

Happiness can not be found on the things that we want, or on the things we think seem worthwhile. Whether or not I become a doctor, whether or not I work as a nurse, whether or not I become a good mother and wife, whether or not I help many people, whether or not I do something great for God, if I’m not found in God, I’ll never be truly happy.

There will always be toil and suffering whichever way I choose. There will be rewards on the way as each challenge is faced successfully. Even this will be meaningless because I know for a fact that I am just but a breath of life that crossed the earth. I come as I go. But this doesn’t mean that I won’t be happy or that I won’t be blessed. As long as I hold on unto God, I am certain that I’ll be able to make it. God will always be with me.

I know God is slowly changing my heart. He is teaching me to stop wanting what this world wants. The greatest joy is experienced through the Lord. He is my only source of hope and comfort, of peace and security, of happiness and belonging. And nothing, not even any one can ever satisfy my desires. Only Him. So I’ll throw everything that hinders me now. I am determined to run this race whatever it takes. Whatever or wherever this life may take me, I trust God to lead me. There is nothing I can do nor can I offer to make Him love me more. He already does love me. Even much more than what I can ask for. All that He’s asking from me right now is that I continue to delight in Him and to be joyful in His name until the time comes when He’ll call me back into His arms.

“There is nothing better for people than to eat and drink, and to find enjoyment in their work. I also perceived that this ability COMES FROM GOD. For no one can eat and drink or experience joy apart from him.”

Ecclessiastes 2:24-25 NET
