Get the appJoy For Today: 14 Joy-Filled Days With God ಮಾದರಿ
"The Best Is Yet to Come!"
Researchers have conducted a long-term study of Northern Californians. Over a period of thirty years they’ve asked citizens when they were the happiest in their lives. Each time, eight out of ten of the people answered, “We are now at our happiest.”
People who have learned the secret of living each moment to the fullest and are aware of each one of their blessings are people who are happy. Therefore, stop yearning for the past or thinking that you will be happier tomorrow; just enjoy every day to the fullest. Christians actually have the assurance that the best still lies ahead of them because we know that heaven still awaits us! Even if you are experiencing difficulties and cannot succeed in being happy, you can know that true happiness awaits you.
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all” (2 Cor. 4:16-17). Be happy about the heavenly glory that awaits you in the future!
PRAYER: Lord, You know that sometimes I struggle to be happy. I praise You for the promise that the best is yet to come – that heaven is waiting for me in my future. Amen.
