THE AMAZING JOURNEY ..PART 2

HEY YOU’RE BACK AND THAT IS SO WONDERFULL BUT IF YOU ARE WITH US FOR THE FIRST TIME WE WANT TO WISH YOU A WARM AND INSPIRING WELCOME. IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME TAKE THE TIME AND GO BACK A FEW POSTS AND ENJOY THE PREVIOUS THOUGHTS WHICH WILL GREATLY BENEFIT YOU IN FURTHER UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE TALK ABOUT HERE IN OUR TRAVELS TOGETHER THROUGH LIFE…..TODAY WE ARE GOING TO EXPLORE THE SECOND SECTION,STEP OR SEGMENT OF LIVING A LIFE OF VARAFIABLE POSITIVE ENERGY…..IF YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING ALONG HERE YOU WILL HAVE PROBABLY GUESSED THE SECOND STEP IN OUR JOURNEY….HAPPINESS….WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT YOU MAY ASK, SO, LET ME EXPLAIN, WHAT IS HAPPINESS? WALKING AROUND LOOKING HAPPY? TRUE HAPPINESS COMES THROUGH BEING GRATEFULL. ---------------IF YOU ARE GRATEFULL FOR WHAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE THIS INCLUDES MATERIAL BLESSINGS, PERSONEL BLESSINGS OR SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS, YOU WILL BE TRULY HAPPY. HAPPINESS IS A FEELING OF CONTENTMENT, NOT THAT YOU CANT HAVE GOALS OR ASPIRATIONS TO BE SOMETHING MORE OR HAVE A MORE FULLFILLING LIFE BUT TO JUST BE HAPPY AND TRULY GRATEFULL WITH THE MANY THINGS THAT ENABLE YOU TO HAVE THOSE GOALS. HERE, LET ME TELL YOU A STORY OUT OF THE BIBLE TO HELP ILLUSTRATE THIS POINT. WE ALL KNOW ABOUT GODS PEOPLE THE ISEREALITES OR JEWS…WE ALL HAVE HEARD THE STORY OF THE PLEAGUES AND THEIR STRUGGLES IN CAPTIVITY, HOW GOD BROUGHT THEM OUT OF EGYPT AND CAPTIVITY TO GO TO THE LAND OF CANAAN/OR LAND OF MILK AND HONEY. HERE WE SEE THAT GOD HAD A GREAT PLAN FOR THEM AND MADE THE EVENTS TO PASS THAT WOULD ALLOW HIM, MEANING GOD, TO SHOW HIS INFINITE POWER ANDGREAT BLESSINGS. DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT THE PEOPLE SAID? WHERE IS MOSES TAKING US? HE BROUGHT US OUT OF OUR BONDAGE TO SUFFER AND DIE HERE IN THE WILDERNESS; WE WERE BETTER BACK THERE IN BONDAGE! LET’S TAKE A MINUTE TO THINK ABOUT THAT. WERE THEY GRATEFULL THAT GOD HAD FREED THEM? WERE THEY HAPPY? WERE THEY WILLING TO TRUST HIM? THE ANSWER IS NO, NOT AT ALL. THE HISTORY OF THIS EVENT IS MAGNIFICENTLY BEAUTIFUL AND THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS TO LEARN FROM THIS BUT THE GREATEST IS TO UNDERSTAND THE PRINCEPALS OF TRUE GRATITUDE AND THEREFORE FOLLOWING IT WITH TRUE HAPPINESS. THE JEWS CONTINUED TO WALK ON THROUGH THE WIDERNESS AND IF YOU READ THE EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE THEY ONLY SUFFERED WHEN THEY WERE NOT GRATEFULL, WHEN THEY WERE NOT CONTENT AND FOCUSED ON GOD AND TRUSTED HIM WITH THEIR LIVES.
