When we get our happiness from God, we want to share that happiness with others.
When we have the certainty that God loves us completely for who we are, we can be satisfied no matter what.
God is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured or feared.
Happiness starts with a choice: where (or to whom) will we turn to find it?
Relying on an unchangeable God will help us stay steady and happy no matter what happens in our lives.
In the story of Martha and Mary, we can learn from Jesus how prioritizing our relationships with God and people can truly make us happy.
By digging down deep, we start the process toward having a faith in God that is not easily shaken. However, depth takes work. It is not a personality trait or a natural talent, but rather a skill that must be worked at and developed over time.
Though in the moment our difficulties may feel like they are too much we can handle, God uses them as opportunities for us to grow.
When we live in denial of what we are struggling with or having a hard time overcoming, we get stuck, settle, and are never able to do the impossible God is ready to help us achieve.
