Be Happy

Psalms 37:4

Be happy in the Lord. And He will give you the desires of your heart.

We all go throughout life desiring things that will make us happy. Cars. Money. Popularity. Love. The list could go on forever of the things that we all desire to have to make us happy. We seek happiness in all these things that fade quickly, and we come out from it very empty and unsatisfied, desiring more of anything to bring us happiness. However, when we no longer seek our happiness in the world but find our joy solely in the love of our father, we are incredibly satisfied beyond measure. When you become happy in the Lord and commit to resting in His presence the rest of your life, He will give you the desires of your newly restored heart. And once you have Christ abiding in your heart, your desires reflect that of Christ, and you are contently filled with the will of the Lord. The Lord our God is happiness in its purest form, and we have that same happiness in the Lord awaiting us, ready for us to embrace it fully with reckless abandon.

Open up to God about what truly makes you happy, and really think about if that happiness is derived from God. If you feel God leading you, invite Him into your heart to fill you with His everlasting happiness that will sustain you. Once you do, you'll find yourself happier and filled 'till overflowing with the love of God.

I pray that God's word fills you with an indescribable happiness throughout today, and I hope you all have a wonderful day!
