Seeking God and Finding Happiness

"But happy are those . . . whose hope is in the LORD their God"  - Psalm 146:5 / NLT
 
Happiness depends less upon our circumstance than upon our thoughts.  When we turn our thoughts to God, to His gifts, and to His glorious creation, we experience the joy that God intends for His glorious creation. But, when we focus on the negative aspects of life, we suffer needlessly. 
 
Do you sincerely want to be a happy Christian?  Then set your mind and your heart upon God's love and His grace.  The fullness of life in Christ is available to all who seek it and claim it.  Count yourself among that number.  Seek first the salvation that is available through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and then claim the joy, the peace, and the spiritual abundance that the Shepherd offers His sheep.

"God has changed Himself with full responsibility for our eternal happiness and stands ready to take over the management of our lives the moment we turn in faith to him" 
-- A. W. Tozer

Dear Lord, we are thankful for all the blessings You have given us. Let us be a happy Christian, Father, as we share Your joy with friends, with family, and with the world.  Amen.
