When you get up and take a breath each morning, thank Jesus and be happy. It’s easy to be happy when things are going your way, isn’t it. We’ll, I say to you, be happy on those days that aren’t so great.
When you’re running late for work and your friendly local police pulls you over, be happy your law enforcement are doing their job to keep you safe.
When you step out your door and trip over the cat, be happy you needed a new shirt anyway.
When someone close to you has passed away be happy they will soon see the Kingdom of Heaven!
We all have emotions and things that happen in our lives on a daily basis that could and should make we us less than happy. Here’s the thing, the devil wants you to be unhappy. He wants you to be as miserable as he is. Now, if you know me, you know that I love to see him angry, so I just keep on being happy! When you laugh in the face of evil, all is well because God wins!
Is it easy? No but then living a positive life is not easy but is well worth the effort. I have a friend who has battled cancer multiple times but is still grateful because she knows she could have died the first time. She is happy for the little things in life and for those days without pain.
We are all broken. We all struggle with complex issues of daily life, but it is how you handle those days that makes the difference. Turn those negatives into positives. Yes, you can moap around and feel sorry for yourself, or you pray and reach out and touch the hand of God and feel at peace. GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU THAN he that is in the world.
Begin your day today with a prayer and a smile. Come on, you can do it.
Have an awesome day.
