LIFE:
Life is full of surprises, you have to learn how things work in order to gain happiness, peace, joy. All of these can disappear in a moment.One moment you can be happy and the next see everything disappear before your eyes. I know for sure. Life isn't what we expect or what we want it to be. We have to open our eyes and hearts to see the bigger picture. God has a plan with each and every one of us. Thats why sometimes our plans and thoughts don't succeed. In that moment where everything crumbles in our lives and we see no way out God steps in. God doesn't intervene where he knows you can do it. He gave you just enough so you can carry. But when the wait of the world is beating you down and you see no way out, He is there!! Present !! He will make miracles with you..Yes , You. Every person is a piece of this amazing puzzle and everything that happens in your life happens for a reason. All the hurt you went through or are going through is to make you fit in that little place where your meant to be!
So going back to gaining that Happiness, peace, joy:
-Things that you may think will bring you those things:
- Money..or having a good job, being successful in your career.
- Husband, boyfriend, family, friends.
- Having a car, a house, expensive clothes, going on trips, traveling, having hobbies.
You see all of these things they bring you happiness for the moment. If you don't have them, you loose your happiness. Is that what happiness is meant to be? Does it mean that if you are poor and have no family you can't detain happiness? NO! Thats not what happiness is about.
-Things that actually bring you happiness:
- Talking to a person in need of help, guidance, encouragement.
- Taking the time to listen to others problems.. in a word CARING!
- Reading the Bible and discovering the beauty behind it.
- Happiness is really doing what God put you on the earth to do.
These things might seem very simple to do.. But when you are in a world where everything that God created is being destroyed, It's more of a challenge. Maybe you care about people that don't even know what caring is and therefore you get hurt, maybe they know what it is but choose to live in denial. But by continuing this you show the strength that God put in you.
Let yourself be used by God! You will feel happy with peace and joy in your heart when you know that God worked though you to strengthen someone else. Use the gift God gave you. It it is a gift of prayer, go pray for all the people you know and you will see God working in ways you can't even imagine. If u have a gift of listening and encouraging, open yourself to all those you see need your help. God speaks through people.He works through people. He does miracles through people. Why not be that person!
When GOD is all you have, you will see that GOD is all you need!
