When you're down, look up!

Do you ever have those days when nothing is going right; everything you touch falls apart?  


When you feel down, do you think about looking up?  Do you think about wanting to be happy?  Some run after money, career, getting to the top as fast and hard as they can.  But, when something happens during that journey; something goes wrong, do they look to God for help?  Or do they ignore God and think they can handle it all by themselves?


Most of us make the mistake of thinking that happiness is related somehow to our circumstances.  We often think that "I'll be happy once this happens."  I honestly had spent most of my 20's and 30's thinking this.


The true key to happiness is to live happy, regardless of the circumstances.  Happiness is a feeling, one that we ourselves can manage.  Look around you.  See how blessed you are right now.  There are people in Peru would love to have what you throw away.


We, as Christians (more than non-Christians) should never be going around with our heads hanging down.  This doesn't mean that you'll find us happy and singing all the time either.  But, if asked how we are, we should be saying "I am very blessed today."


Look up to the one who created you!  He promises to wipe away those tears and fears some day.




Matthew 11:28 - "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
