One of God's greatest gift to us is choice. And we have the choice to choose happiness or not...not sure if in my mind I am simplfying this, but I have the choice to be happy or to be unhappy. You have the same freedom and can choose to be happy or to be unhappy.
Now, I do realize that there are circumstances in our lives that may not seem ideal or positive. But it is our choice to look past our circumstances and find our happiness. For me, my happiness is in God. No matter what kind of day I am having, what kind of relational issue I am having, God will always be God. No changing there...and He is my happiness. Knowing this, I have found great peace within myself, great peace knowing God and wanting to know Him more. This doesn't mean that I don't have problems or bad days, or even bad things happen...because I do and bad things do happen. It's about choosing how to deal with such things; how to look beyond, and above to the One who knows about yesterday, today, and tomorrow - God. It's about knowing that this life we live is not the end all. God is the end all; heaven is our home and what I look forward to. Living this life all for Him - that is my happiness.
Often times, I am disappointed, but those are moments that soon pass.
Look beyond your circumstance, look beyond your problem to find true happiness, choose to do it because no one else can do it for you. Choose to let God in, choose to want to know Him.
I pray that I will never lose focus of my happiness and pray for those who are looking for it.
