About the flowering of happiness…

Psalm 73:25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. (KJV)

God is always creating. God is always moving. God is always creating something from nothing to give you happiness. When you think about it, in the hands of God, happiness appears out of nowhere. Of course, we think there are causes and reasons for our happiness. In our life there are thoughts, images, remembrances, imaginations, and circumstances God can use and does use to bring us happiness and joy. Many times, happiness is the reverse of unhappiness. Happiness is often only a matter of perception. What makes one person unhappy can make another happy. Happiness flowers when we see the flower and count every petal as a blessing from God. When we ignore God, we ignore His work and unhappiness is the result. When we ignore God, we ignore Him in the dynamic of our life and unhappiness results. When we get outside of ourselves by counting the petals of His flowering beauty made just for us, happiness comes to us in the essence of His love and grace.
