Every time you complain about not being happy, you’re saying what Jesus has done for you isn’t enough, then there’s no faith to even receive grace and the gift of joy that He gives because it’s still about you and not about Him. When you’re all about Him, He’s all about you.
Father, draw me to Yourself. Remind me that only in You will I know the real joy and satisfaction that my heart longs for. Help me to look beyond the surface things of life to what really matters.
Happiness is an elusive thing—as we can see in almost every area of life. Our pursuit of happiness may involve food or a host of other things, but, in the end, happiness continues to escape our grasp.
Why?
In large measure it’s because the things we tend to pursue do not touch the deepest needs of our hearts. Our pursuits may provide moments of enjoyment, distraction, or pleasure, but the cry of our hearts goes unheard—the cry for help and hope.
It is only when we entrust ourselves to God and His care that we can find the happiness we seek. Our hope and help are found only in trusting Him.
Beauty, wealth, power, love, marriage, and pleasure are good things, but they’re not the best. The best is loving God and taking in His love—bringing Him glory and making Him our friend for life. That leads to the best possible life because it gives us satisfaction and true joy!
Jesus reminds us in the Gospel that whatever our treasure is, that is where our heart will find its satisfaction.
the truth is, you can have anything you want, but you can’t have everything you want.
The devil doesn’t come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns. He comes as everything you’ve ever wished for..
Don’t complain,
be grateful for what
you have!
Too many people spend
too much time complaining,
and not enough time just enjoying what GOD
has given them.
Think about what you have been thinking about and you may find the source of some of your discontent.
True happiness resides in not getting what you desire but desiring what you get.
Do not lose what you have by desiring what you don’t have! Coz what you have now is one of the many things YOU once desired.
