Happiness is the thing almost everyone chases after, or not.
Luke 21:1-4
As he looked up, Jesus saw the rich putting their gift into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. "I tell you the truth," he said "this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."
The Mexico Mission Team went to Mexico a few days ago and we saw little Mexican kids who lived on almost nothing. Was happiness their goal? Not at all. They were happy already, but why are we yet still whining about the things we don't have? Think about what they don't have compared to us. Almost nothing. I thought about it and questioned, is happiness just another obstacle to keep us from God? 100% No. Happiness is a gift from God. So we should be smiling and become happy now. It is a gift that we should respect a little more than caring about what we do not have. God has told me things through my sight and trust me, seeing things is a lot different than hearing about them.
