God can Help you Fill the Joy that your Heart Desires

Living this life is like walking along the journey that God designed. Over time, you have experienced different things and events that brought you pain and joy. The feeling of happiness and satisfaction is what most people have always been looking for. Some expressed joy in their answered prayers of work, school, or acquiring material things. Some also look at it from different angles. Others look for it through reading inspirational quotes and books and searching for hacks and easier ways to find one.

How one defines joy depends on how one sees life. Happiness is sometimes made. Remember that God already provided you everything that you need. However, this world is full of things that evolved to satisfy one’s craving. Some people continually develop and create something to match people’s demands for an easier way to live life. Yet, humans have no scale of life satisfaction.

The desire to have more grows as long as you live with change. And it is not surprising thaty your definition of happiness and joy also changes. Yet, there is only One who can help you find that satisfaction that no one else can fill. God can help you find your happiness despite the circumstances that you are in. He is the only one who can teach you how to choose to live with gladness despite the enemy’s temptation.

Be aware of God’s presence in your life. Match your energy with what He prepared for you and not of this world. This world will continue to increase its demands for happiness and keep changing its definition and way of life. However, if you live with Him, you will always have a safe place you can call home. He already provided everything for you, and it will be your job to build that joy within, but He can help you with it. In all circumstances in your life, remember that you always have the choice of how to handle things. Never underestimate your authority to build joy. It isn’t just something you look for but also something you can make within yourself with His help.

Sometimes God will use your circumstances to help you create joy. For example, he will use people who have hurt you to teach you that there is joy when you release forgiveness. He will use uncontrollable things in your life to teach you how to live in the moment and seize each second like everything you have. In every situation, there are lessons that He engraves with it. It will be your choice then how to respond to it. Not everything in life may give you joy, but more things will teach you how to make one.

Create your joy with God, and you will experience that incomparable satisfaction from within. He can help you grant your heart desires. That empty spot inside can be filled with His love. Remember that it is never too late for you to be happy. Always give yourself a chance to experience more of His glory and favor. Do not worry. Everything will change, but not His love for you. He knows that you deserve to be happy. He can fill you with it. So let Him teach you how to have that heart that will choose to find joy in different situations.
