Love, Joy, and Peace.
If you
are like me, you think about these words as “feel good” ideas that everyone
wants. Unfortunately, in today’s world they seem harder and harder to realize.
Why?
Are
you stressed out?
Negative
people around you all the time?
Finances
difficult?
Webster
defines Joy as “a state of well-being and contentment.” A state of well-being
and contentment… now, isn’t that what we all want as humans?
Have
you ever wondered what makes you happy and contented, and why you do things the
way you do?
The
problem is most of us are being carried away by the daily cares of this world that
we lose sight of why we do what we do.
Does
money bring happiness? We always hear this question, and we probably heard a
million times that the answer to this question is a resounding NO. Not long
term, anyway.
But it
seems to be human nature to deny this fact.
Material
possessions are fun and nice, but have you ever bought anything that comes with
a happiness guarantee? Nope.
It
doesn’t happen and never will.
The
thing is, “stuff” can provide temporary happiness, but not real long-lasting
joy.
True
eternal love, joy, and peace can only come from within. These three – Love,
Peace, and Joy – are spiritual in nature, and can never be achieved through
materialism, buying, acquiring, possessing.
God,
the Holy Spirit, is the only source and foundation of these blessings. Let us
renew our relationship with Him who supplies us with inner peace, healing, and
deliverance all the days of our lives.
