The Broken Steps - #47

This is the Truth Network. It's time to be encouraged. It's time to be lifted up. Welcome to the Broken Steps Podcast with the Vals Lady of Gospel, Anita Deen Arnett. Get ready for hope, healing, and health. Everyone has a story.

Watch yours. All of us want to be happy in our lives, don't we? That might be one reason a person would go to church to find happiness, but have you ever really thought about what happiness includes? Happiness is a feeling of peace within your heart. Happiness is a feeling of calmness when all around you is disturbed. Happiness is joy deep down inside. Remember the song Don't Worry, Be Happy?

That song, if you were to sing it, it should give you some peace of mind and make you smile. Don't worry, be happy. God loves you and he does not want us to worry and fret.

He does not want you to be unhappy. Always looking at what we have or what we wish we had instead of what we don't have. Too many of us spend our days complaining and whining when we should just tell God, thank you for what we do have. Smile.

God loves you. Remember the old story about a man that was sad because he had no shoes until he met a man who had no feet. All of a sudden, having no shoes doesn't seem to be too big of a problem, right? Think about it. The biggest problem that you have right now, just think about that. Do you think that problem is too hard for God?

No, absolutely nothing is too hard for God. Just a reminder for you today. Rejoice in those things you have in your life. Be grateful.

For us to be ungrateful and walk around in misery every day is to deny Christ his rightful place in our life. As the song says, don't worry, be happy. Happiness is based on circumstances and events. Joy is based on having a relationship with God. Smile. Jesus loves you and so do I. Have an amazing day.
