Happiness is finding joy and peace within through God, when all else around you is in chaos or disarray. People and things can’t make you happy. You must find it with the peace and love of God. Peace that is within when you stay in prayer or worship. We all have struggles, we all have flaws, we all go through moments that are challenging, and some more than others. Some sit alone, in moments during their day and sometimes all day in silence and deep thought about their life thinking they should have done life differently. But as life comes with flaws, the wisdom we learn helps us to grow, even in the lonely moments. You may say, you want to give up…but push through, knowing that you can make it. Sometimes you may have to encourage yourself but don’t give up. See yourself as God sees you, with Love.
