People ask me, “What is the purpose of life, are we purpose to be HAPPY…?”
This maybe way off the wall, but I do hope you are going to give it some thought.
My responds to that questions is; Life is preparing us for everlasting life. Our bodies weren’t made to last forever, but our souls are. And the Lord wants us with him in Heaven when the time comes.
I may die tomorrow or I may live to be 100 years old here on earth, but I plan to spend the eternity in heaven, so I figure this is a warm up and dress rehearsal. Now we all know that we will be happy… in heaven, so I figure I’m going to practice that happiness here on earth. That way I’ll have it down real good when I get to heaven.
I’ve got to be honest here in how I think.
We were made by God and for him and he is always there to help with your happiness. 
Until a person figures this out, life isn’t going to make much sense. Let’s face it life is a series of problems: Either you are having one now or you’re just getting through with one and now you’re getting ready to handle another one.
There is a reason for this. God is more interested in our character. If you don’t have character, you can be pretty boring. I don’t know about you, but I’m really not fond of boring. The last thing I ever what to be is called is BORING. Not a good thing.
Life is like hills and valleys, you go through dark times, then there is light and you feel like you are on the mountaintop. It is like two rails on a railroad track, at times you have something good going one and something bad is also in your life.
No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad going one. No matter how bad things are, there is always something good you can be thankful for.
Here is your chooses, you can focus on your problem or you can focus on the good and get help on the bad from the Lord.
If you want to focus on the problems, you’re going into being self centered, which really brings out the pain. I’ve been there many times until I realized this just wasn’t working. One of the easiest ways to get rid of the pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto others and the good Lord.
Let me tell you a story about letting go and letting the Lord when it comes to problems.
When my children were small, their father, my husband (he’s not my husband anymore, but he is very content in the way he lives) was not making any money. He was in sales and really didn’t seem to care. We didn’t have much food in the house, the mortgage was behind and things were going downhill fast. I think I was getting close to a nerves break down. I was standing in front of the stove cooking dinner one night feeling like I was going over a cliff when all the sudden it was like the Lords had his hand on my shoulder and I just felt completely at peace and knew everything was going to be OK! It was the most comforting feeling I had ever felt in my life. I knew I had been touch by the Lord.
After that things started to turn around. The problems just started to get solved one at a time. People were put in my path just at the right time. We did lose our house, but the neat thing about that was the gentlemen that bought it from us, did pay us full value for it. This gave us the equity to pay off other bills. Then to top that off he let us rent it back from him as long as we needed too.
To have happiness we have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad in life. Sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. We get so use to living with the problems and pain we just ignore the good.
Not a good way to live life.
Ask yourself; “Do I want to live life for possessions and popularity?” Am I going to be driven by pressures and guilt? Bitterness and materialism? Or am I going to be driven by The Lord’s purpose for my life and happiness?
When I get up in the morning I want to know that I am going to build some character that day. The Lord didn’t put me here just to fulfill a to- do- list. (Ask my husband he knows how I hate lists.) The Lord is more interested in what I am then what I do. This is the reason that we are called human beings and not human doers.
We as humans have Happy moments, difficult moments, quiet moments, painful moments and every moment should be a thankful moment.
Here is my little prayer for you: “He arrived this morning, we had prayer; spent some time just talking and he held me for awhile because I was having a bad morning. Then he was on his way to your place.”
After you get through reading this post escort this to someone else’s PC. The Good Lords message is important and needs to be spread around. May the Lord bless you as you do!
Here is a link to the Lord’s Prayer from Make A Difference and as you listen to this video repeat the words out loud and start finding HAPPINESS WITHIN.
This is the SECRET TO HAPPINESS and you’re going to LOVE it.
And don’t forget to share it.
Have a blessed day and touch somebody’s life today. I just did. He’s walking around the world!
Don’t forget to share your comments; I would love to hear them.
Just me
