I experience feelings of happiness each day
“I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.” Ephesians 1:16-17 (GW)

It pleases me that each day of my life, I experience feelings of happiness. I know that happiness is a by-product, not the goal. I have one priority and that’s seeking first His kingdom and righteousness, knowing all the things I could worry about will be given to me as I seek Him. Happiness comes as I see His will done on earth as it is in heaven.
I focus on finding joy throughout the day. I so enjoy a good heart-felt laugh. My life is full when I surprise myself with my laughter. My everyday world is wonderful because I experience so many things that I know make God happy, so I am happy.
In the morning, I wake up with feelings of refreshment, wonder, and curiosity. I think about what my day might bring. I look to see what God might say. Perhaps I can see an old friend today or meet a new one? I am still and know that He is God. I am so thankful that He is good.
As the sun rises, my joy is just beginning. While there are fleeting things that bring me happiness, I am aware of the many reasons I have joy. The God of hope fills me with all peace and joy as I trust in Him, so I can overflow with hope by the power of Holy Spirit.
I know godliness with contentment is great gain. All of us came into this world with nothing, and nothing is going with us on the way out! So as long as I am clothed and fed, I know I can be happy. It’s my ambition to live a quiet life, to mind my own business and to work with my hands, so people who are not believers will respect the way I live, and I will not need to depend on others. I depend only on God.
By cherishing the present moment, knowing God is present with me, I maintain a positive outlook. I smile to myself, expressing gratitude for my life and the opportunities this day presents. I know even a forced smile changes my mood. The joy I feel serves as a reminder of the abundant love I have in my life and confidence in the hope of what’s coming. The best is yet to come for all who believe!
Today, I steward the grace He has poured onto me. His grace is not without effect. It leads to happiness as a by-product. Each day offers a new opportunity to embrace joy and remind myself of the love and contentment that fills my life. For this, I am deeply grateful.
Reflection Questions to ask Holy Spirit:
- Is it my ambition to live a quiet life?
- Can I be present and enjoy this moment?
- When was the last time I really laughed?
