"This is the day that the Lord has made: let us rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24). Happiness is a choice based on how we choose to react to a situation. The secret to real happiness is turning everything over to God. Of course this is easy to say but not so easy to put into practice. However, the more we give God control of our lives, the more the burdens are lifted from our shoulders. As long as we have our focus on God and recognize His goodness and blessings with a thankful heart, we can't help but be happy. If our focus is on ourselves, we'll never be satisfied. It's so freeing to come to the place of surrender and not be weighed down with problems. The problems may still be there, but their effect on us has changed. It's also in this place we draw close to God and feel what real peace and joy is like. It's the place where we get a small taste of heaven.
