How do you account for the happiness and satisfaction you experience each day? Some would say family life and closeness with loved ones play a major part. Others might say financial status and the security of a career. Faith and trust in Jesus Christ rank high on what gives meaning and purpose to most Christians.
Is there a particular image of yourself that you present to others, either consciously or unconsciously? Your eyes, a smile, a frown, your voice are indicators of a positive or negative attitude that you project about your life. Your attitude determines the degree of happiness and purpose you experience in everyday life.
Attitudes are linked to your values, the way you feel about yourself, and what you believe is the meaning and purpose of life. Attitudes are bridge builders, for they determine your success or failure. Have you considered that Christ Jesus is the giver of wisdom and truth for discovering peace and joy in life?
___________
Be happy in the Lord, always! I’ll say it again: Be
happy! … Finally, my fellow Christians, keep your minds on all that is true or
noble, right or pure, lovely or appealing, on anything that is excellent or
that deserves praise…Then the God of peace will be with you.
