You've been walking around with your shoulders drooping, countenance fallen, and eyes blazing for about.....five to ten years now. You've even managed to develop at least ten distinctly different frowning faces to display your precise level of dissatisfaction. People are starting to wonder if you have a muscle disorder that prohibits you from smiling, because in the last few years they've known you your pearly whites have yet to surface. Come on... you're a Christian. If anyone should have reason to be joyful, it's you. You have a savior who put his life on the line so that you can have a better shot at living yours to the fullest. The Bible says that Jesus came to give us life, and not just any ordinary life. He came so we could live life abundantly. Don't waste your days being angry about things from your past or being upset over things that are out of your control in the present. You're missing out on so much. Seek out a trustworthy confidant that can help you work through the inner issues of your heart so you can get past them and really live again. Prayer is a great for that. Then face each day with the intent of enjoying people and purposely enjoying the simple pleasures. Be resolved to embrace the hope and possibilities that come with each new horizon. Each day is a gift.
Scripture:
Psalm 144:15 Happy is that people whose God is the Lord
Proverbs 16:20 whoso trusts in the Lord, happy is he
Psalm 35:9 my soul shall be joyful in the Lord
Prayer:
Lord help me get to the root of our unhappiness then steer me beyond it. Please restore my joy.
