TRUE HAPPINESS

            Someone I know at work said she wasn’t “happy” in her marriage and is planning to divorce her husband. Another employee told me she asked the unhappylady, “if you can’t be happy in your marriage then why are you staying married?” So now our marriages must be driven by happiness? Apparently it has nothing to do with commitment or patience or selflessness or humility. Apparently it has nothing to do with working things out.  Selfishness can be very destructive.  It is an “I-me-mine” world. This particular woman felt she had a right to be happy. But her happiness was based on doing fun things and going fun places with someone who accepted her exactly the way she was. While we need to accept people the way they are because we have no right to change them, I believe it’s very important for people to make a personal assessment of their life and lifestyle to find out why they aren’t happy. Maybe their expectations are unrealistic. Some folks think they know what will make them happy, only to find out when they tap into that ‘thing’, person or place that when the  dust settles at the end of the day their situation is no different then it was before; perhaps  even worse based on decisions they’ve either made or not made. The thing that people should really be seeking is not fun, which can be fleeting, but peace, contentment and satisfaction. These things reside in the heart of a man or woman. These things come from God. People need to stop rushing toward the temporal fun and pleasures of this world and look at their life from an eternal perspective. This is done in the spirit and involves a personal relationship with Almighty God.  Without that can mortal man ever be truly happy? Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            rlkeller
