Good morning Facebook family and friends the thought for today is. Jesus is not a happy pill, following Jesus involves the grit of daily self-denial. To follow Jesus is to abandon all lesser goals and pleasures and to surrender to the ways of the kingdom of God. If by happiness you mean that you have your life, your plans, and your possessions all stacked up like an ice cream sundae and Jesus is the cherry on top, then you will be most disappointed. You cannot gain the world and its idea of the good lifeand have Jesus too. Life with Jesus involves tears, struggles, sacrifice, and holy commitment. Strangely, though, in this self denial, you fine that God gives you back your very self your soul. With in your soul you experience things that make you rich. You experience joy and peace at a funeral; You see Christians face illness with dignity and power; you experience how people love each other with and a eternal love that doesnt quit. When your life is full of these things, you are happier much happier. Lord I know my life is full of imitation happiness. But I desire the real thing: Christ in my soul. Hear me and receive me, in his name. Remember God loves you and I love you too.
