The steps to true joy, Happiness and Peace of mind
Hello, Good morning everyone, I hope your night was blissful. Welcome to another wonderful day. God has made us to see which is not anybody’s power is by God’s grace.
Now people claim to have peace of mind when the engaged themselves in all kinds’ wickedness, evil, atrocities that leads as a result of joy. This kind of joy does not last. People might also claim to have peace of mind, happiness and joy through money, wealth, affluence, education, qualification and the think all is well. Brethren this is not true joy. All this things are vanity upon vanity it doesn’t take you to anywhere. The true joy is Jesus Christ.
You may asked what kind of joy, happiness and peace of mind am I talking about.
Let’s see some of the characteristics;
• The joy that is permanent and lasting even all demands of life is absent.
• The joy that fills up the heart of someone, no matter what happens.
• The joy is Jesus Christ which gives us everlasting life.
Let’s consider the steps to true joy, happiness and peace of mind.
• Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and saviour.
One of the things is to accept Jesus by confessing your sins to Him.
Matthew 11; 28, says; Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
The burden of sin is the real source of unhappiness. The life of restlessness, ceaselessness, sorrow and shame is in sin. If you want to have peace of mind, joy and happiness then you must accept Jesus Christ as your personal lord and saviour. He is a great link to happiness, joy and peace of mind. If you are a believer already then you don’t have peace, joy and happiness, then re-confess and re-affirm Him as your Lord. He is ready to forgive. And the joy will be returned.
• Forgive others always
Those who cannot forgive others are among those who cannot have true joy, peace and happiness in their heart. Unforgiveness is the real source of unhappiness, bitterness, and grudges in a person’s life. Jesus forgives us every day so we should learn to forgive all the time.
Reasons we should forgive others.
Matthew 6:12. Forgive one another as God forgives you.
Ephesians 4:2; Forgiven one another in love.
Matthew 18:21; Forgiven as much as seventy times seven a day.
Read your bible everyday
The word of God inspires and comfort you when you in trouble. The word of God gives you peace, joy, its gives encouragement, strength, hope, comfort and much to give.
Pray always
Praying by faith and the assurance of things not seen but it gives you joy, happiness and peace of mind that, what you are asking for will come to pass. Keep on praying every time. Some people do say I feel like praying. You pray all the time when you like or not.
Giving and helping others always
Luke 6:38, give and it be given unto you, good measure, pressed down shaken together and running together and running over shall men given unto your blossom.
Giving is the secret of true joy, happiness and peace of mind. The secret of receiving is giving. As the saying goes; Givers never lack.
Cheerfully appreciate people
Proverbs 15:30 says ‘’A cheerful look brings joy to the heart’’.
When someone do something for you, appreciate him or her immediately. It gives him joy and think of more things to do for you.
In conclusion, I want you to have Jesus Christ as your personal lord and saviour, He is the real source of happiness, joy and peace of mind.
I pray as you go through this post God will give you joy, comfort, hope, happiness and peace of mind. Amen. God bless you.
