Gratitude

The Lord reminds you today that happiness is an emotion. It is so different from joy. Happiness is based on our perceptions where joy comes deep inside. Joy is deep seated contentment knowing that God has all things under control. Happiness is based on circumstances where joy is based on a heart of thanksgiving and gratitude. Happiness cannot be earned, bought, worn, owned or consumed. Happiness is something that God can give when you choose to live in the joy of the Lord which is your strength. It is a companion to joy and is based in the love of God. Joy and happiness are living in a moment in love, grace and gratitude. So today have an attitude of gratitude and see God be with you every moment.
