Man, feeling happy has been something that I've been struggling with. Naturally, I just am a sad person, kind of looking like I'm happy and joyful 24/7, but kind of having this resonating sadness/sorrow within my heart. Seeing the bad in things (loneliness, abandonment) has always stuck with me..I was just so blinded by my insecurities and the things that I lack in, that I was unable to see what was really before me.. an undeniable joy that only comes from God. No really, to know in your heart of hearts that God is the one who brings you joy in this world. The only one that can restore your soul to its entirety. Wow. Lately, I've just been feeling like God wants me to know that he can make me whole. In the cracks and crevices in my heart that have been created from disappointments, failures, and broken relationships, he just finds a way to glue the pieces back together and make me whole again. God is such a good God. One who thinks about his children and brings us pure satisfaction and joy. Don't tears just well up in your eyes as you hear the goodness of our father and his never ending mercies? Maybe it's because I'm just an emotional person, but just writing about this makes me all.. quivery. haha. Anyways, I just felt lie God tugging on my heart to share this.
So let's all try something new, and be happy people. Genuinely happy, only through the grace of God. :)
[I will try to do this, as I still struggle sometimes..you can keep me accountable. :)]
Romans 5:1-5 says " Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance."
