The Pursuit of Happiness is one of our inalienable right, is it not? As I think about it, what is “happiness”. The root word for happiness is happen. So in order to be happy, something has to happen to make us happy. Conversely, if something does not happen the opposite is that we are unhappy. True Joy in life comes from knowing why we were put on this earth. That, of course, is a God-thing because there are no accidents, mistakes, oops, in God’s perfect plan. Each of us was created for a specific purpose. Why it even says that the devils was made to fuel the fire of hell.
So finding your JOY is finding what GOD had in mind when He created you in your mother’s womb. That is a phenomenal journey and the destination is not the end but the beginning. Zig Ziglar said it best, ” the chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want now.” Isn’t that the truth? We live in a world of “right now”, “instantly”, “fast paced”, so many of us trade that burning passion that God dropped in us for the temporal desires of NOW.
With JOY, nothing has to happen because it is from inside you. It is those times when you have listened to that inner voice and follow its direction.
My challenge to first myself and to you, is that you stop for a moment and listen to that still, quiet voice deep inside you and follow that voice to your true passion in life. There and only there will you find your JOY.
I found my JOY in the establishment and creation of Miracles Manor, a home for females returning to society after incarceration. With GOD all things are possible. The JOY of the LORD is my strength.
Be a blessing today because GOD blessed you when HE woke you this glorious morning.
