May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, co that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (Romans 15:13 ESV)
Should my happiness be dependent on others and on things always going my way? The answer is no. My happiness should be found in Christ, His death and Resurrection. If I know that He reigns in my life, then all the negative thoughts and feelings that try to fill my heart, must be cast down. I must not give them power over me.
If I fill my heart with God’s word and prayer each day, I have started well. I must remember when lies come against me, I have the word in my heart to speak out against it.
Be Encouraged! Choose happiness, even if all falls apart around you, He will make a way for you.
