HAPPINESS
DOESN'T DEPEND ON CIRCUMSTANCES

Life
can be less than perfect at times. So many people are happy and cheery
as long
as everything is going well, but then, once something goes differently
from
what they were planing, they get all down. They start murmuring and
blaming
others and even blaming God for their problems.
It's easy to be pleasant when everything is going well, but what is
really
praiseworthy is when someone can stay pleasant even when things don't
go their
way. The key is learning to have a thankful attitude in spite of these
things,
knowing that the Lord sends them to help us grow in ways we wouldn't
otherwise
grow in.
We need to learn to be able to go through problems without letting them
unravel
us and get us down and make us want to give up, but instead to trust
the Lord
for everything. In reality, it is kind of presumptuous to want to have
everything perfect, and never shed a tear.
Do we want roses without thorns and rainbows without rain? Life all
perfect
without any pain? I don't think so. So, let's not be surprised when we
do go
through problems and realize that it's just par for the course, it's
just part
of life.
Let's learn to go through everything with a graceful and even thankful
attitude. It says in the Bible: "In everything give thanks, for this is
the will of
God concerning you."
So trust Him knowing that He loves us, and He gives the very best to
those who
leave the choices up to Him!
