Becoming a child of god

Happiness comes when you know how to become a child of God.  You will never be happy if you don’t know how to be dependent on God.  I’m talking about asking God for guidance, going to God when you have problems and answering him when he calls.  When we were children, we obeyed our parents and we go to them for advice.  We depend on them for shelter, food and clothing.  We even depend on them for money.  This is how we have to be for God.  God is our father and if we don’t become a child of God, we will have a difficult time dealing with situations.  I say that because we’re living for ourselves and we try and make ends meet from our ability.  It’s difficult because we just don’t have the strength. 

When we live for ourselves, we get caught up in earthly treasures or should I say worldly things.  It’s okay to have luxury things if you can be happy with the simple things in life.  God blesses us all the time and if we don’t know how to humble ourselves, we will fall.  We just spend too much time storing up ungodly things.  This is why we have so many problems in life. 

The devil knows exactly what you want and your desires.  He gives you those things and when you think you’re happy, he comes in to disappoint you.  This is a crazy world because you can have everything one day and nothing the next.  I know this guy who had everything; big home, cars, trailers, swimming pool, business and money.  He lost it all.  After 30 years living this way, he had to live in a trailer.  He was very humbled though because he knew where all those things came from.  Yes, the devil tested him but he still knew how to live with nothing.  He accepted things for what it was and that allowed God to work through him.  Many of us can’t do this because we’re living for ourselves.

Becoming a child of God also prepares us for tough situations.  When we depend on him, we know that he’s guiding us.  In knowing that, how could we lose?  Even when things get tough, we know that he’s preparing us for our destination.  That’s powerful and that’s how we have to learn to think.  Think like this and the devil will never be able to touch you. 

When you become a child of God, happiness will come and you will find yourself loving life.  Humble yourself and depend on God for all your needs.  You don’t have to worry about things any more.  He’s watching over you.  I know for me I was living and trying to get this and that and not being dependent on God.  I spent years living that way.  A lot of my problems I brought on myself and I found myself worrying about unnecessary things in life.  I definitely wasn’t happy.  Once I humbled myself, I learned to live with what I had and if other things came I knew God was just blessing me.  If not, I was fine. 

We also need to stop thinking that we’re better than other people.  This happens a lot.   Just because we have more than others that doesn’t mean we’re better than others.  We have to learn how to accept people for who they are and love them unconditionally.  This is why God said you can’t serve money and me.  Money is a powerful thing and when we focus on that too much, we lose the focus of serving God.  Let’s be real.  We would love to have money and be stabled but we have to know that if God takes it all away, it’s okay.  That’s what I’m talking about.  I believe there are many good & humbled people out there who have money.  I respect them because that’s beautiful in knowing that they know where it came from.  Humility is a wonderful quality and if you have it, you will be happy and at peace.  Think about that and know that becoming a child of God plays a major role on your journey.
