WHAT HAPPINESS

“The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”

Jeremiah 31:3 KJV

One of the definitions I found for happiness in the dictionary is “contentment, joy”.  What contentment and joy is ours to be loved by the Saviour of the world!  Not only does Jesus love us, He loves us with an everlasting love which means He loved us yesterday, He loves us today and He will love us forever.

The next time you are discouraged and think you can’t give another smile or take another step, remember Jesus has felt all the emotions we feel.  He knows how it feels to be discouraged and alone so He understands how it hurts.  Cry out to Jesus and ask Him to encourage you when you are hurting.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus.  What an amazing and unconditional love You have for us to give Your beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins.  I love You, Heavenly Father and I appreciate all You have done for me.  Thank You for the privilege of serving Jesus.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
