Happiness

People walk through life without a real care, consumed with something called Happiness. It effects there mind and life distorting and confounding good thought processes. I have even heard them consumed about the Happiness of children as if it is a real goal to be focused on. The big danger of such thinking is that what is behind this P.C. jargon is a deep seeded selfishness. We should all know that selfishness leads only to the destruction of yourself while hurting others along the way. The end of selfishness is suicide, when you find yourself in a state of self pity and a loss of this false idol happiness.
In contrast doing what is righteous in spite of how we might feel is in itself a path to ours and others fulfillment. This is a hard lesson and a battle that must be fought and won early in our walk towards that goal of spiritual maturity. If we don’t get this then how can we ever receive the higher things. Our silly focus will always be on the flesh and how to please its every whim. The true battle line is between the flesh and spirit, whom will you serve? You can only choose one master. Can you divide your body? No and neither can you divide your life. If you are to serve the Prince of Peace all of you must be His.
What a patient and loving God who reveals only piece by piece to us of our imperfection so as not to kill us or destroy us. To know God is to love righteousness and cleanse our own way with heartfelt circumspection. Cleaning our own mirror as it were in order to reflect His true beauty more perfectly. After all we were made to praise Him, and our reward is joy.
