The other day I was feeling on top of the world when I woke up. I felt high off of God and wanted to share it with everyone. I blasted Christian music for my hour commute only getting more pumped off of the Holy Spirit. I got to work and sent out an email to all employees on being positive and how to keep a good attitude. I was bouncing around work like someone in love, nothing could get me down. Then I received a text from someone and my stomach dropped, it was a text I did not want. I went from 100 to -5 in under .893 seconds, which I think is a record. One minute I’m walking on cloud 9 and the next I’m standing in the middle of a rainstorm. That text had so much power over me. Have you ever received a text or call that completely changed your mood? If you answered yes then keep reading and if you answered no than keep reading.
SO MANY TIMES WE AS HUMANS ALLOW SITUATIONS, CIRCUMSTANCES, AND PEOPLE CONTROL WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE HAPPY. We allow situations to alter the way we look at our day or heck even the world sometimes. We let situations to begin to crack our foundation of joy and contentment. We allow in those negative thoughts or things and we go from 100 to -3, and before you know it the best day is the worst day.
WE HAVE CONTROL OVER WHAT WE LET INTO OUR WORLD AND HOW IT AFFECTS US.
We allow the devil to dangle situations before us and we take the bait. We leave our bubble of truth for what’s in front of us because the situation can be defined. Since we can define the issue it trumps the big man in the sky who we question is even listening sometimes. We leave truth which is what our happiness is really based off of for worldly outcomes because they are more relatable. People tell us to be happy with God and one moment we are but as soon as something that can be seen or severely felt we grasp onto that and let it take over our mind.
TRUE HAPPINESS IS BUILT OFF OF KNOWING WHO GOD IS AND WHAT GOD DOES FOR YOU. God’s love is not wavering but a solid foundation to build joy off of. When we put our emotions into worldly things we feel defeated because it’s a constant roller coaster of disappointment and frustration. People are not God so they will let you down; we were never made to put our faith into people. IF YOU GO ON A DATE WITH SOMEONE YOU SHOULD TELL THEM YOU WERE HAPPY BEFORE YOU MET THEM AND YOU’LL BE HAPPY AFTER YOU LEAVE THEM. YOU SHOULD WALK INTO A SITUATION AND WALK OUT WITH YOUR JOY STILL IN TACT BECAUSE IT’S BUILT OFF OF TRUTH.
No text, call, and or smoke signal should have the power over you to change your mood that quickly. Remember what you are in control of and although you may not be in control of that situation you are in control of how it makes you feel. I know sometimes I can get physically ill from outside circumstances….why am I making myself sick when I have the power to remain in my happy place. What is your happy place? Your relationship with God is your happy place. Nobody can enter that space or take it away from you, that’s yours.
HOLD ONTO GOD LIKE YOU HOLD ONTO WORDS FROM THAT TEXT OR THAT EX.
OUTSIDE CIRCUMSTANCES CANNOT TOUCH YOUR INNER PEACE.
Have faith in the truth and build your happiness off of fact. I let that text bring me down, I put my worth in other peoples words and actions. AS LONG AS YOUR WORTH IS IN OTHER PEOPLE’S ACTIONS AND WORDS YOU WILL NEVER LIVE A LIFE OF CONTENTMENT. We constantly are chained to words from people who themselves are hurt so they hurt others. HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE. WE ARE LIVING IN A WORDLY PRISION BY ALLOWING OUR WORTH TO BE PUT IN THE HANDS OF OTHERS. Take back your worth and your happiness by putting it back in God. Only God can give you the love you need, he won’t let you down.
Tired of constantly going through the roller coaster of happiness and hurt? Tired of letting others control your emotions and worse your day? YOU HAVE THE POWER TO STAY IN YOUR HAPPY PLACE…ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PUT YOUR WORTH AND FAITH BACK INTO THE TRUTH AND REMAIN COMMITTED. Remember what you have control over and take back that control. Don’t let the devil dangle that situation in front of you, go the opposite direction, don’t give in. THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. THE TRUTH WILL SET THAT TEXT FREE. THE TRUTH WILL SET THAT CONVERSATION FREE.
Texts don’t hold your worth. God does.
