One of my biggest struggles. I face it every day. I battle with it every minute. But do I choose it?
Happiness is a choice we make. We don't always make it voluntarily, but we make it all the same.
It's one of those things we can feel like we don't deserve. Past choices, future worries, anything at all can trick us into thinking that happiness isn't for us. It's for those who don't have anything to regret, or worry about. People whose lives don't have creases or wrinkles. People who have it all together. Perfect people.
I thought that. I do think that. "Happiness isn't for me. It's for people who don't have to worry if they're going to get a good grade on the next test; for people who are perfectly organized; those who always know exactly what to do or say. Not me."
Lies. All lies.
I really don't care what your history looks like, not what your future holds, or what crisis you're facing right now, or even how perfect your life is or may seem. Every single of one of us when we wake up, have a very clear choice. Happiness or Defeat?
"A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit drains one's strength." Proverbs 17:22
Every exhausting, chaotic, beautiful morning we wake up is a gift. God is giving us a new day to live life. Live it glorifying your Savior, and not letting anything defeat your happiness. God's blessings are new every morning.
How will you live it?
