I can’t seem to
get that Pharrell Williams song “Happy”
out of my head
I've heard it said
that there are three things a person needs to be happy:
*
Something to do-meaningful work or helping others.
*Someone
to love-someone to whom we can give of ourselves, such as a spouse, a child, or
a friend.
*Something
to look forward to-a vacation, a visit from a loved one, improved health, the
realization of a dream.
Those things may
bring some temporary happiness. But for lasting fulfillment, they can all be
found in a relationship with Jesus, God's Son.
*Something
to do. As believers, we have been given gifts from the Holy Spirit to serve our
Savior by serving others in God's family (Romans 12:1-16). We are also called
to spread the gospel around the world (Matthew 28:19-20).
*Someone
to love. We love God because He first loved us (1 John 4:19). And we love
others, "for love is of God"
*Something
to look forward to. One day we'll be welcomed into God's presence forever,
where we will enjoy a perfect place prepared especially for us. (John 14:2-3)
For lasting
fulfillment, Jesus Christ truly is everything we need.
SO
Do something today
to serve others and share Good News of what God has done for you.
Love those around
you (even those who you don’t like very much) as God has loved you.
Look forward to
coming together with your church family, worshipping the One who gave you life,
and finding out about God’s plan for your future.
Be Happy!
Your pastor and partner in ministry,
Kyle
