Stop Faking and Be Happy for Real!

Have you ever wanted to be truly happy? Not that fake I'm okay, you're okay, kind of foolishness! I mean truly happy down on the inside; happy to the point where you can actually say within yourself that your joy is not based on external circumstances; happy to the point that you are filled with inner peace; happy to the point where things that used to bother you...are really rather insignificant.
Well let me help you get there if you are not already there. It's simple. True happiness can only come from God himself. No person on this earth can bring you continuous joy and peace like God can. And to be honest, it's unfair for us to place the burden of our happiness on someone else when they are just as flawed as we are. True happiness can only come for God!
I was reading C.S. Lewis' book titled Mere Christianity, which by the way is a great book, and I got to the place where he talks about our human design. Lewis writes:
"God made us: invented us as man invents an engine. A car is made to run on petrol, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other.....God can not give us happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing."
What powerful words and meaning to our existence. We are fuelled by God Himself, just as a car runs on gasoline! We need God everyday and in every way. Let me encourage you. Get as close to God as you possibly can. The word of the Lord in James 4:8 declares that if you draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. The more of Him you have, the better your engine will run, even without additives!! You do realize that people sometimes seek additives and substitutes instead of God; such as drugs, alcohol, fleeting friendships, sex, hobbies, work and if we are not careful, religious activities can also be a substitute for a real relationship with God.
Don't run on fumes or let your engine keep knocking without giving it the proper attention it needs and deserves. You were designed to run on God. Isaiah 55:6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. He's provided the Way to Himself by way of His son Jesus Christ, our path to our Heaveny Father. Pray often! Be Blessed! Be Truly Happy and JUST BELIEVE GOD for all things.
