Can we really be happy every day?  Do believe we can be – but only when we recognize that our happiness and the ability to remain happy lies within. When we understand that we are made in the image and likeness of God, for His delight. We become happy when we understand that forces are working against us creating our unhappiness and we are giving into them… I do not know about you but just the thought of someone or something working against me, wanting me to not enjoy life will cause me to rise up and prove it wrong!

I realize happiness and living in joy are weapons that we can use against the enemy and every roadblock, darkness, unbearable situation or people that we may encounter. Show me a day free of any of the above and I still would not believe. It is inevitable, there will always be something or someone coming at us, trying to make us feel less than the happy, joyful person we should be. So what will we choose to do? I encourage you to choose happiness despite what is happening around you.

If you wallow in it, if you worry over it then it simply means it is out of your control or it would have been resolved. So if it is out of your control why not place it in the hands of God and let Him take care of it? That is what He wants us to do so we can be free to live as the happy people He created us to be. Do not let Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross go to waste… that is why he died for us so we can be free to live happy.

Choose to live intentionally HAPPY!!!
