God wants us to be happy. He’s the Author of happiness. It was His idea. But if that’s true, then why are so many people discouraged and downtrodden… and so often un-happy? The problem is what we listen to that drives what we look to in order to find that happiness. The message of the world is to “be who you want to be, and do what you want to do” and this will make you happy, only it … does. not. work. The message of Jesus is “be who I made you to be, and do what I want you to do” and in doing so, we will experience His joy, and our joy will be full no matter what else is happening in our lives.
