Why happiness

Hello folks from the cyberworld,
 
 
People often wonder why I seem always happy and content. Truth of the matter is I am always happy and content. Why you may ask? Well first and foremost God gave me a thankfull heart. But there are other reasons why i am a happy person. I found happiness in things that some people wouldn't think of. I try at all times to put the needs of others before my own. I do this because it makes me happy to see joy and happiness in others. Some will say you first have to look after your own needs before you can help others. This is what I say to them. God is in control of my life and takes care of all my needs. I am content with the gifts that he has blessed me with. Material things do not really matter to me. When I started out my adult life I had little and realized the value in life is not where I live and what kind of car I drive. It is the pure love that I have for my Lord, my wife and son, my many friends, and the happiness that they have.
 
I don't look at my job as a money resource, I look at as an opportunity to make a substantial difference in someones life. How is this done? In one brief moment through our controlled enviroment I can take someone out of the dulldrums of society and make them smile or laugh or for one moment forget about all the things that trouble us. Do you realize that 90% of things we worry about are things we cannot change? Lets focus our efforts on the 10% that we can. We will all be far happier and more productive if we do that.
 
Happiness I find is highly contagious. If I am happy so will others be. Happiness is from God and it is his will that we be happy. The things that happen in life are often sad and tragic. We can choose to dwell on these things and let them control our lives. We can also choose to see that out of sad and tragic things come other wonderfull things. That is choice that we all make.
 
Look at these from the bible.
 
Ecclesiastes 3:11-13  

11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. 13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God 

Psalm 16:8-10

8 I know that the Lord is always with me.
      He is at my right hand.
      I will always be secure.
 9 So my heart is glad. Joy is on my tongue.

      My body also will be secure.
 10 You will not leave me in the grave.
      You will not let your faithful one rot away.

 

Philippians 4:10-12 

10I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

Hebrews 13:5-6

5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. 6 So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

 

Be Happy my friends as the Lord wants you to be. He will take care of all your needs if you have faith. Try and seek happiness in others and you will see what makes me happy
