Happiness.

Sometimes you really expect things to just fall in place, especially after experiencing hard times. You pray and hope for happiness, but sometimes it just doesn’t happen.

But perhaps for some it’s not time to be happy yet.

Maybe you need some more life experience, before you can adjust your sails and set off to find happiness.

Some say happiness is a destination; others say it’s a journey.

But perhaps it’s the journey that makes you appreciate the happiness.

Sometimes we have our eyes so focused on, ‘finding happiness.’, that we miss the smiling faces waving at us on the side saying.

“Come here, you are welcome to be with us.”

Like a boat ride to a wonderous place.

You have your calculations and coordinates all ready and set for the ‘perfect place,’ that ‘happiness.’ And you are determined to get there! No matter what.

But what is this ‘perfect place?’ the ‘perfect destination?’

I mean, what’s yours?

 What are you trying so hard to find?

Is it happiness?

Because happiness is a totally different thing to each person. To some it’s the perfect job.

Others maybe clothing.

The soul mate.

A family.

Sure... we all have that distant dream of happiness we are afraid of finding just in case it isn’t all we hoped for.

But what if happiness were completion?

To be complete, to not feel like there is a part of you missing.

Is finding your soul mate going to fulfil that empty happiness? Or cause more pain?

Is a family going to help? Or destroy?

No, I’m sure those things will help, and make you really happy which is great!

But completion?

Only God can do that my friends.

Some may say you will lose everything if you choose to follow him.

When actually, you receive life!

“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10

Now that’s gotta make even you happy. ;)
