I think sometimes I get caught up in stereotypes. Caught up in fitting a mold & being all i claim.
But what is more important: acting and being the person you claim to be or knowing you are the person you need to be.
Very often in life we encounter hard situations. Learning lessons, falling flat on your face, not knowing who to turn to or where to go-- it's all hard. Life is HARD! He never claimed that this life would be easy, but He does promise to walk beside us the whole journey.
Let that sink in- the God who causes the sun and moon to rise and set, the God who tells the seasons when to come and go, the One who breathed life into your lungs, He- He promises to be right besides you the whole time.
No matter what I go through it's always my mission to remain joyful. Find joy but happiness is second to that. Joy is what matters. If I find Joy through Christ then ill be able to make it through anything.
And we know this is true, James even instructs us to count it ALL joy.
But here's the thing: if you're to busy trying to only find joy, you will miss seeing the plethora or things God gives us to be happy.
You see, there is a difference - these two words aren't interchangeable but they are both vital in our walks with God.
I tend to shut out things that make me happy, it's easier not to be happy- honestly. It's easier for me to overlook the little things and just to keep going.
That is so crooked.
It's not what God wants for me either.
He never told us this would en easy, but He also is a god of grace, compassion and love.
Each day i want to find the things that make me HAPPY.
I want to allow happiness.
