“It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It’s important to make someone happy, and it’s important to start with yourself. Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design into the present. Here and Now.
Even a smile matters! The more you radiate happiness from within, you become the epitome of warmth and love.
You are always in control of your thoughts so choose to feel confident and adequate to be the master of your own universe. Decide to be happy as a matter of habit, that others cannot but be happy when they are in your company.
Every new day is a chance, an opportunity given to you to be happy, irrespective of your circumstances.
Waiting for circumstances to be congenial for you to be happy will never happen.
Forget all worries. Start the daily exercise by self-affirming that you need to be happy in the day. Come what may, you only need to slowly spread out that happiness. Create a small little world of loving warmth wherever you are.
Psalm 92:4 of the Bible says:
For You, O Lord, have made me glad by what you have done: I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
When we enter His Gates with praise, He will enter our circumstances with Power!
Ponder over all the goodness that has come from the Lord. His Love knows no bounds: He is Ever Benevolent: His Mercy is always All-Forgiving even when we go astray. Even at the darkest moments of our lives, He has never left us alone: it is only because of our fear, worry and doubtful nature that we are not able to feel His Presence.
Are these and many more reasons, not enough to make us happy? We are so besotted with our complaining selves that we fail to see the touch of God through various circumstances in a day.
The Truth is that He is with us all the Time and the fact remains that He has given us caring people to be with. This should be one of the prime reasons that we should always remain happy and cheer up others too.
‘For You make me glad by Your deeds, Lord; I sing for joy at what Your hands have done. How great are Your works, Lord, how profound Your thoughts.’
May this be your line of praise to Him all the time.
PRAYER:
To all those dear ones who are at work or at home: wherever you are and whoever you are with: even if you are alone, take a moment to thank the Almighty for people around and the countless blessings in your life.
Being grateful for everything will only double your happiness.
Dear Lord, Thank You for giving us relationships – for family, friends and people around – for giving us this chance to make others happy. May we bring happiness to to others by being happy ourselves. Fill us with Your Grace and Joy. Bless us all. In Your name. Amen
Be blessed with Joy !
