I used to search for happiness. Everywhere I looked left me empty. At this point in my life, I can say I am truly happy. What changed? I invited God into my life. What a fundamental change!
Even after finding peace with God, I used to think at times that I would be happy in spite of the difficulties in my life. Now I've come to think of those difficulties in an entirely new light. I can embrace them, being happy through them, not in spite of them. I don't have to rush through them to get to the happiness on the other side. Today I soak up the opportunities to learn and grow along the way.
Happiness is a state of mind. The difference for me is that now my mind is set on God's perception of my life - not my own.
