Happiness is the key, but so many people believe that becoming rich and famous is the key to happiness, while the rich and famous desire peace and rest for their souls in their hearts.
We are all looking for freedom, true freedom from our pain and our sorrows, and the way we see the world relies on how me medicate our problems away; drugs and alcohol, sex and violence, consumption and excess, these are the ways many people deal with their problems and the effects of their fallen human nature, but where is God in their lives?
They say that there is no God and if there was a God, he has forgotten His lost human race, but these same people ignore the signs of life and eternity written in the stars and in the fabric of our world; scientists peer into our life systems, our bodies, our cells, our dna structure, and everywhere they look, they see structure and deep meaning, and only a few are bold enough to think, "there must be a God". There is certainly enough evidence to prove the existence of God, but more evidence will not convince an unrepentant heart.
Why am I happy? Because I love Him. Love is not something to be measured and evaluated under a microscope, and true love does not come from fame and fortune, but it is the most precious treasure on earth! There is no life without love, and every creature on earth responds to it, and every child needs it to survive, and every culture that abandons it never survives for long. Do you realize that every person on earth can recognize a gesture of love?
Love is compassion, understanding and caring for yourself and the others that surround you in your life; that is love, and God is love, and He is the source of all that love. You cannot love without having the capacity to love, and the Lord has given us all the ability to love. The question is, when God comes knocking at the door of your heart with a gesture of love, will you accept His loving gesture, or will you refuse to respond because you won't believe that what you are feeling is real, or ignore it because you desire something or someone else to be first and foremost in your thoughts and in your heart?
Seek the Lord with all your heart while He may yet be found, and you will find peace and deliverance from all of your guilt, pain, and sorrows; He desires to heal you, to bring you into the family of His Grace; be careful to listen to His knock at the door of your heart and open the door and let Him in...
Prayer of Salvation
Lord,
I repent for trying to be master of my own life. I change my mind about who I want to be in charge of my life. I turn from my useless and unproductive thoughts that I am the center of my universe and choose to believe in the living God who created everything, including me (Acts 14:15). I have lived without a purpose but now I will live to hear and obey You, God (Jn. 5:19, 20,30).
I confess with my lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead. I believe that God so loved the world He sent His only Son Jesus to shed His blood to wash away the barrier of sin (Jn. 3:16)
I receive You, Jesus as MY Lord and Savior (Jn. 1:11,12).
I welcome You, Holy Spirit, into my life to rescue and empower me and to restore me to intimacy with my heavenly Father (Acts 2:38).
If you just confessed this prayer, you are saved! I welcome you into the family my (brother/sister) I pray for peace, joy, and happiness in your life as you allow the Lord to love you and bless you and give you assurance of everlasting life with Him forever and ever......PRAISE GOD!
May the Lord keep you and Bless you this day....AMEN
