I like to think I am one of those happy individuals. Not because my life is without obstacles but because I strive toward finding honey in trash. If it’s cloudy, I say to myself, well its better than being drenched in sun with no air conditioning or if its cold…. i remind myself …. hey, at least you have warm clothes and HEATED SEATS in your car….. better believe I have them HEATED SEATS.
Those are simplistic details in life, the thoughts which mostly go unnoticed and dismissed. I never really think of how I choose to be happy but today i pressed rewind on my cassette tape of life. I remembered things I say when approached with a depressing or dismal scenario….. The good answers and choice to be happy lies in my utter disgust with being UNHAPPY. I don’t like it, and i don’t like when others are unhappy.
But you say to yourself…. I feel overwhelmed and sad. I dont know what I am going to do with my life and everybody appears to have it together….. My friends suck ….. My job is lame…. I don’t have a boyfriend/girlfriend….. I am broke and have no money…..even worse…. I am broke and have DEBT.
My ultimate point of sadness today came when I began to think of all the people around me who are working and doing all they know to do to be successful…… AND DO NOT HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. Those individuals days will be dreary, they will encounter bouts of frustration and not know how to fix it. They will foster diseased relationships, they will walk a spaghetti twisted road of confusion that leads to darkness. When they arise in the morning fear will seize their souls clothing and whisper horrific things….. the lovers in their life will lie, cheat and steal from them.
When they do reach success, their soul has been trafficked and they cannot even locate it. Success has taken so long they could never barter it for an illusion called FAITH. They trade the pleasures now and unknowingly accept torture tomorrow. These were my thoughts of sadness today, these thoughts climbed into my Soul backpack and lingered just long enough. Now I must react and advance forward with our Vision from Jesus. He needs us now more than ever.
I choose to accept the Vision Jesus placed before us and reach to the lost. Grab them, shake them if needed at times and give a never ending happiness. Buddha can try as hard as he wants, but the source is much greater.
