LHAPPINESS IS NOT THE PURPOSE OF LIFE
The purpose of life is to come to know God in a personal way; the purpose of life is the knowledge of God.
And to think that somehow "happiness" can replace that fundamentally misunderstands what it is that "happiness" actually is. Happiness is only a feeling. And it is a feeling that comes and goes, ebbs and flows, waxes and wanes.
One day you are happy about the very same thing that the next day you are unhappy about. Happiness is neither a reliable nor stable guide to anything.
If we only "do things because they make us happy" then we are going to never do good things that make us unhappy and we will do bad things if they make us happy.
This is dangerous.
This is unhealthy.
This is unlivable.
We can't "do things just because they make us happy" because our happiness flexes so often that it is unreliable as a good reason for doing things.
You should "do it" (whatever "it" is) not because it makes you happy, but because it is what Jesus wants you to do.
And Jesus is THE good, THE truth, THE life, and THE way. So whatever it is that He wants you to do, it is the way to the good, the truth, and the life; Jesus is THE way to a personal relationship with God... the very purpose of life.
Do it because it is what Jesus wants you to do, and Jesus wants you to do what is best for you and best for others.
Keep Thinking!
I'm already loved
I'm already chosen
I know who I am
I know what You've spoken
I'm already loved
More than I could imagine
And that is enough. 💕

When God decides to use you, the requirements are different & at times it can feel isolating, weighty or like you've been set up to fail. Listen, the only thing you've been set up for is the opportunity to show others a glimpse of God's glory & His miraculous power. The things He can perform through a willing vessel can't be measured. The success of a thing is up to Him & the obedience is your responsibility. God will not be mocked. Lean into Him & He's always going to stand up for you. Keep pressing through until you see what He said. ✨
Hold on just a little bit longer. I know it's gonna be okay. These days are gonna make you stronger. You'll find purpose in the pain. ✨ #HoldOn #StayStrong #ItsGonnaBeOkay
