YES GOD WANTS YOU TO BE HAPPY But at times it's like the dad who loves his beautiful and cherished 23 year old daughter. She wants to marry a 69 year old millionaire with a yacht. She's in love with the idea. But to her displeasure and disappointment the dad says "That's not a good idea. I love you and I want your forever happiness, I am not interested in your right now happiness. If you marry him I will not be a part of the wedding and I won't be there to walk you down the isle." Happiness, let us understand this well, is truly our portion here as above; it cannot fail to fall within the lot of those who have chosen for their portion Him whose nature is one with Infinite, unalienable Joy. God, in communicating Himself to the soul, of necessity communicates happiness; and all souls in union with Him have returned to their central rest, and are happy, in the exact proportion to the closeness and fullness of their union. --Happy, in other words, by so much as they have within them of God. --Dora Greenwell Happiness, Heaven itself, is nothing else but a perfect conformity, a cheerful and eternal compliance of all the powers of the soul with the Will of God. --Samuel Shaw, 1669 This world is not an easy place to live in. It's not the Disneyland it's just the temporary road to the Disneyland. One of those near death experience ladies said she died and left her body and went on to experience "Happiness that was almost more than I had strength to bear." One of my favorite things to pay attention to is this: "Do you at last believe with all your heart that I created you in order to make you eternally Happy? It was out of *Pure Love* that I created you... to give you Infinite Bliss. O thank Me for your creation. Never cease to look at *My Love* enfolding you; and feeling loved, love Me..." "Nothing that you may have possibly imagined of the Love of My Heart comes anywhere near the Reality." “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9) ...
God wants me to be happy....no...God wants me to be Holy. God wants me to please Him and in doing so He KNOWS I will be happy and pleased if I want and desire righteousness. To the wicked, sin makes them happy and God does not want that for man. The world's definition of happiness and what is good is evil and perverted. They seek to be happy and pleasure-seeking as God says but they do not seek the truth. I have learned that when someone says that I "hurt their feelings" when I tell them the truth, they really mean that, "You hurt my flesh". The flesh will always hate and think the truth hurts it and it wants to be happy remaining in sin. That is the problem with these fake pastors that are not teaching the Gospel of Jesus and of repentance. They skim right over sin because they prefer to people please and to please others fleshy desires or in other words, they prefer to tickle their ears. God's ways are not like our ways so what man defines as happiness, God's definition is very much different to the point where it is like basically speaking two different languages: The carnal mind vs the spiritually renewed mind
Ahhh.. So God won't act unless you act and live life to a certain standard. Maybe God should love people for who they are and not hate those who don't follow rules to a T. 🤕🤕
God wants us to rejoice and be joyful
Lead me Lord all the times🙏🙏🌹🌹🌺
Amen
Thank you.
Very, very true.
