Indiana Jones story and at the end everyone thinks “what a journey.” The one true journey, the one filled with adventure, drama, excitement and daily fulfillment is your personal day to day life. There is so much more to this subject so in this article we will take the bi-pass around the whole big subject and just get off on a few exits.
In every case where you hear of a successful person that came up from the worst possible situation imaginable, somewhere back there, though destitute, hungry and poor, was a happy, prominent Christian figure with a very positive attitude who had influence in their life. Usually a grandmother or mother saying- it‘s alright, the Lord will take care of us, good job and so on. With me it was my grandfather. Without that person being there you might have people saying- “this is terrible, you can’t do it, tomorrow is going to be worse than today, and so on.” “A Good Christian” so to speak, is as simple as being that person. The person that’s always looking at the positive side of things, the person able to look at a bad situation and see it as a good situation in their life and in the lives of others around them.
You answered yes to those questions, you are a Christian doing your best, you might have been a Christian for many years, know your scriptures and have a place in your church, so why aren’t you happy, fulfilled and satisfied in life and why aren‘t things better? By satisfied I don’t mean complacent. There are Spiritual battles that you must willingly make a choice to take on. This is why a long time Christian can be young or week in spirit. Paul talked extensively about one of these important battles and it is possibly the key to your true happiness.
The Battle:
This is not a challenge to the devil or some other evil. This is a battle of you against you and you have to choose to fight it. When you get saved you have an old person and a new saved person. Usually right away you give up the ways and habits of the old you. Many see this as changing the physical things, you quit smoking, and you stay away from alcohol and so forth. This is like putting the cart before the horse. The most important thing that you need to change is your thinking (every single thought), your reactions and the words that you speak (every single one). The way you think and judge things and the words that you use are imbedded in your very being. They are more of a habit than drugs, booze, cigarettes or whatever, they can also be far more devastating. The spoken word is the most powerful
Get Your Happy On
Get your happy on,
you might be in a better place than you think, and remember this
“With life It’s not just about the destination, it’s about the journey !”
“Happiness a Journey through the Thought Process”
The fact that you are reading this Christian publication puts you in a pretty good place and if this little lesson helps you that puts you in a great place. First, answer three easy questions: Do you believe in God? Do you believe His word is true? Do you try your best to live the life that Jesus would be ok with, even though you might have failed for one reason or another along the way or even now? If you answered yes, you might be in a better place than you think.
The Journey:
There is but one true journey. It’s not starting a business and ten years later celebrating the great success and everyone says “boy what a journey.” It’s not an Indiana Jones story and at the end everyone thinks “what a journey.” The one true journey, the one filled with adventure, drama, excitement and daily fulfillment is your personal day to day life. There is so much more to this subject so in this article we will take the bi-pass around the whole big subject and just get off on a few exits.
