Happiness and peace

God gives us everything we need to be happy and to be at peace.  We are the ones that choose to live different.  It's a blessing when we place an importance on serving God and having joy in our hearts. Pretty much accepting God's grace.  It's really just that simple.  When we don't walk with God, we're not accepting His grace and we're choosing to make it about us and not about building The Body of Christ.  Each one of us has issues but in order for us to heal or deal with our issues, we have to be humble and know how to love.  That's what it's all about and to be honest, if we don't see through God's lenses, our lives will become so chaotic that it will be different to stand and stress will get the best of us.  I can't express enough how important it is to love our neighbor and show it through our actions because when we don't it's more harmful to us.  God is love and when we don't accept what he gives to us, we can't be happy or at peace.  Life is short so let's not waste time but grow within so that we can contribute to the mission and have joy on our journey.  Amen
