God brings us happiness :]

hey y`all
today was just one of those great days :] i got to spend most of it at church, which was great. and i think the praiseband sounded pretty good after me ashley & candace went and practiced the keys haha...in the stairwell, where people kept walking in on us and hitting us in the door...so a peice of advice...dont practice singing in the stairwell. haha. i also finished my seven page essay on Jesus, and it was fun! i loved learning all this stuff about Jesus life and now maybe osmeon else will read it and they`ll get to learn too :] mk so my devotion, i read on happiness :] because Jesus makes me happier than anyone or anything!! Philippians 4:11-12 says, "Not that i speak in respect of want; for i have learned in what so ever stat i am, there with to be content. I know both how to be abased and i know how to abound: everywhere and in all things i am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to stuffer need." in other words, the secret to being happy is Jesus. he makes us happy and we should realize no matter how bad things get we should be happy because we've got Jesus to bring us back up! 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, "Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you" God wants us to always be happy and we will be if we pray to him and give thanks to him for all he has given us! Psalm 112:1 says, "Praise ye the Lord, blessed is man that delighteth greatly in his commandments" which means if we follow Gods commandments happily we will be blessed. We need to do things for God with joy :] Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight thyself in the Lord and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart" which means God will give us what we want, if he wants it for us, if we listen to him and if we are happy about it :] so basically, we need to be happy to serve God. i know im thrilled when he speaks through me, i think its the greatest thing ever :]]
i love y`all
God Bless!!
