Happiness
Life is not measured by how much you own” (Luke 12:15; NLT).
People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7; NLT).
“The LORD gave me what I had, and the LORD has taken it away. Praise the name of the LORD!” (Job 1:21; NLT).
“Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God” (Luke 12:21; NLT).
Make me walk along the path of your commands, for that is where my happiness is found (Psalm 119:35; NLT).
Lord,
Please help me
Not be fooled
Into believing
That happiness depends
On my relationships,
Appearance,
Clothes,
Possessions,
Money,
Home,
Holidays,
Intellect,
Career,
Abilities,
Achievements,
Or state of health;
For sooner or later
Everything I think is mine
Will be taken from me,
Except my soul –
And you.
