Secret to True Happiness

At the core of human existence is a desire for happiness. People do all kinds of crazy things, sometimes even destructive things looking for personal satisfaction and joy in life. 

I sit here in chronic pain and with one arm; yet, I am happy. There is a secret to my happiness that I need to share. It is simple but true. We have a mighty God who wants us to live abundantly (John 10:10) with lives filled with joy (Romans 15:13; Galatians 5:22-23). 

I ask God to fill me with the Holy Spirit daily. Each morning I get up and pray while I do my mirror therapy (used to control phantom pain because I want my brain to work so I refuse drugs).

It is during this time that I ask for the Holy Spirit to fill me and direct my steps and path for the day. Lately, like Elisha of the Old Testament, I ask for a double portion. I do this not only because of the times we are living in but because I know that joy will follow.

So if you are seeking happiness and purpose no matter what is going on around you then ask for the Holy Spirit. God denies no good gift from His children (Psalms 84:11) and being happy is a very good gift. All we need to do is ask.

May you continue to be blessed in your life journey! <3 Holly
