1Peter 1:8 “You love Him, though you have not seen Him. And though not seeing Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy”

Today is time to reflect on what gives us real deep happiness and joy. You will surprised to know that it is not having a dear close friend or spouse.

The greatest happiness that any single person can have as well as married is the “glorious sense of Gods presence, His nearness, and overwhelming love”.

When you are filled with Gods happiness there is NO room for sadness, worry and emotional pain.

Jesus said that he had come to give life and joy, and joy to the full!

It took me 20 years to realize this and to be able to say the reader, that nothing can make us happier than the joy of the Lord.

If as a single person you are seeking happiness through having a spouse or near friend then I have to say that it will fail. The one you hope for is as weak as you and has no power to make you happy.

God created us to be filled with His love and joy and only after that to enjoy the delights of a friend and spouse.

Ask the Lord to fill you with His joy and happiness and then you will be more ready to enjoy, love and give to a spouse one day.
