Lately I've come to what I believe are several major revelations in my life that I feel God has put on my heart to share...
Happiness:
I have come to believe that "Happiness" is way overrated in our modern society! People say "all I want for you is to be HAPPY" but if you think of how vastly happier we are as a society now than 50, 100, 200 years ago you'd see that we really are spoiled beyond belief. Most of us have access to any and everything we NEED and we are not losing lives, we are not facing major discrimination or persecutions, we can vote and have a say, we can choose the lives we want and people we want to share it with.... we are living large! But today, people leave their marriages, leave their children, their jobs, they get married, and have children; and spend unknown sums of money all in the name of "happiness". I know I have been caught up in it too! But what I've come to realize is the plan God has for us and the lessons we have to gather along the way are not always going to include happy times. And in the moments when we are not happy with our situation instead of just reacting, leaving, yelling, crying or worse! We need to stop, get down on our knees and pray for guidance! We need to stop relying on our own understanding of "happiness" and wait on God to bring us through it. If we just say "God I'm not acting on this feeling, I'm waiting on you to make it better in my heart, to heal my broken heart and pore out your love over my wounds" He will DO IT! He will restore your heart and bring you peace and your happiness will know NO bounds! There is no challenge He can't fix! I know this to be true, because I've giving Him this opportunity in my life many times and He has always come through in a BIG way!! Thank you Jesus!!
