via Quote of the day # 17 : Head Up — Rebellious Scapegoat
Happiness is not the absence of trouble
but the ability to smile in spite of it all
because we know God is in control
and the out come will always be glorious
for those who trust in Him shall not be put to shame.
I used to think that if I don’t get a good dose of joy myself, then I’m unable or unqualified to bring joy to other people’s lives. I’ve since changed my paradigm.
I’ve learned that it takes just a little effort and will power to make someone’s day.
When I share the little I have it goes out and comes back to me in a boomerang effect.
It’s selfish of me to think that because I don’t have what I want, I’ve got nothing to share.
I could be unhappy, but at the same time possessing the seed to someone’s happiness.
At Gethsemane, Jesus wasn’t happy about going to the cross. But He knew my happiness depended thereon. So He went.
Anybody can give when in affluence; true generosity is seen when we give out of little.
If Jesus suffered this much for me to have a good life,
why would He now withhold any good thing from me?
If He paid so great a price to ensure my happiness,
how then can he be glad to see me suffer?
If He endured so much for my sake,
why will He now place any limit on my happiness?
I believe we don’t just deserve the best; God wants the best for us.
How will you feel if you painstakingly save money and then invest it on your child’s education,
Then you discover that they are not taking full advantage of the sacrifices you have made for them?
You will feel insulted isn’t it? That is how God feels when we creep and crawl and beg; when we live as beggars whereas He has furnished a table for us through a huge sacrifice.
