Enjoy Happiness Now
“Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it. I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:11-13 WEB)
Don’t postpone your happiness to the future.
“When I am rich, I will be happy.” Really? King Solomon is by today’s standards a trillionaire and he was not happy. Read about it in the Book of Ecclesiastes. He indulged in every worldly comfort and pleasure possible, and yet he concluded that it was all vanity of vanities, grasping after the wind.
Happiness is not about being rich or poor. It is about having Christ in you and with you.
“This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.” (John 17:3 WEB)
As a believer, you know God not as a distant person, but a good Father who loves you and is on your side. To the world who does not know Him, He is still the Judge who punishes the wicked. They do not have the kind of relationship that we enjoy with Him.
Start enjoying your relationship with Abba God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit today. You can pray, and God will show you amazing truths, advice for the future, and help you with whatever you need.
A life without God is an empty life, like always eating but never being able to satisfy that hunger.
When you have Jesus as Lord, you have the Bread of Life, the living bread from Heaven to feed on. His words in the Scriptures, the Lord’s Supper, are true food that nourish you in many ways.
Perhaps happiness is having an unlimited supply of this heavenly food, so that your spiritual hunger is satisfied!
If you want to know God’s heart for you, you can study the 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ in “Messiah’s Miracles”. As we look at each of the miracles that were recorded in the four gospels, you will know Abba God better by seeing what Jesus does. Jesus did nothing without first seeing His Father do it—they have the same nature and work perfectly in sync. This is a read that I’m sure you will enjoy: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles
