I Peter 1:7-97That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

Praise the Lord for He is awesome and so good and kind unto us. He is faithful to His word and we need to have faith in Him.  

Okay, at this point I was trying to understand being happy all the time. How do I do this, okay I have to trust the Lord – but even more so – I have to have faith! Faith to be happy – yes faith to be happy.  

There are times that I literally have to say aloud “I am going to be happy today – this is NOT going to take my joy!” It is a fight for me daily to stay happy – I mean a fight.  

Some things financially came up and we were talking about it – it was my fault so of course I am on the defense as he was saying things. You know how ‘we’ do – I know he is saying we but it is not ‘we’ that made the mistake – I made the mistake. He knows it and I know it. Yet I have to keep telling myself ALOUD that I am NOT GOING TO STOP BEING HAPPY!  

I do not know about you but being unhappy is so second nature to me that I have to really give it over to the Lord every single second of the day. I am not talking a few minutes here and there – I mean every single second of the day.  

I surround myself with the word of the Lord, I surround myself with music that is glorifying His name, I surround myself with Jesus all day long so that I can have that joy and I pray! I have no problem praying now at all. I will pray for anyone and relish in praying – why because when I pray I feel even closer to the Lord. I will start praying for someone and the Lord comes down and man I feel so much better. 

I love praying anywhere – I just love praying because it changes my mood and my mindset – it has to – because in the presence of the Lord is where I am and it is where I desire to be all the time. I am thankful that I know what it is like to walk in the spirit and I strive so hard to do so…for in my flesh I am a mess. 

I am going to have unspeakable joy and walk in faith knowing that God is going to work it out for me! I trust Him and know He is! Praise the Lord – I am happy today!! 

God Bless
