You make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever. (Psalm 16:11 NASB)
I desire happiness, who doesn’t? The question is where do I seek for this happiness? In my life, I have sought for happiness in a lot of places: a job, a relationship, material things and God.
I confess that in all the areas I have tried to gain happiness, all have missed the mark except God. It wasn’t until I surrendered my life to God that I was able to get off the treadmill, seeking to fill the empty places, that only God could fill.
In His presence, there is joy and peace. I do not have to try and fill my life with things. God fills me every day with all I need to be happy.
Be Encouraged! If you are empty and you have been trying to fill your life and nothing you have tried really makes you happy, consider seeking God. He is always listening.
