I'm lying here in my bed, bubbly and restless, all because today really has just been one of those "perfect" days. Honestly, while there are certain aspects of my day that I know I loved and that did make today special... I still wonder "why am I this happy?" I mean, my Fridays are routine and this isn't something I feel every Friday.
As I lie here and process my day... I'm going to do some research and try to decide "what is happiness." Since it is pretty late, this is going to be super short... But still: Enjoy.
***After a few quick Google searches and deep deep thought***
What is Happiness? The best definition I have found so far is from Henry War Beecher: "The strength and happiness of a man consists in finding out the way in which God is going, and going in that way too."
I must say, while it is difficult and even sometimes chaotic, following God is amazing. There is nothing like going through life following God, looking back, and seeing all that His hand has done. I mean, the CREATOR of EVERY living thing and the ONE who made the universe, stars, ocean, every single grain of sand, rain drop, and unique snow flake cares for me. He cares enough to guide me through life and He works every intricate detail out so perfectly... How amazing is that? That right there makes me happy... Actually, more joyful. But, you get the point.
Happiness is resting in perfect love. The perfect love that only our Father in heaven can give.
Looking back over my day, I can say that I have seen the blessings that my Maker Himself has given to me. I see a relationship, many friendships, I see a future, I know some of my desires... All because of God... All because of HIS love.
I hope this blog makes sense. It's late and I'm out of it.
Before you click a button to change screens on this computer I hope you stop to ponder God working in your life. I hope you stop and just take the time to realize how marvelous He is and I hope you can dwell in His perfect peace and His perfect love. Not that you should do that to find happiness, but I can guarantee it will spark something in you: joy, love, peace, comfort, happiness, patience, etc.
Much love,
Meggers
