Recently a hospital worker asked me a question, “Are you a Christian”? To which I replied, “Yes I am, why do you ask”? His response was so simple yet packed with so much truth, “Because you are happy”.
Have you ever looked at a picture of a person smiling, yet you can tell by their eyes and forced grin that it’s not very authentic? I have discovered that my outlook and mindset about life is everything. Things don’t always go according to plan, life is filled with setbacks and surprises but through it all, it is so important to remember who gives you that inner glow. You are connected to “the ultimate light” and once you realize that, despite how you may wake up “feeling”, you can maneuver through each day knowing that the joy that you have the world didn’t give and the world can’t take it away! Take captive over your thoughts and feelings, say a prayer, and decide that no matter what you may be facing, you will actually be happy! The past is the past, let it go. The future has not happened yet, like the Word says do not worry over it. Be grateful for where you are in life right now and wholeheartedly embrace the present moment for what it is, a blessing.
Enjoy the rest of your week!!
