FINDING HAPPINESS AT CAMP

FINDING HAPPINESS AT CAMP:

You can’t find happiness if you are trying to find it.
Happiness is an elusive state that manages just stay out of
a self serving stretched hand. You can’t reach it by reaching for it.
The harder you try to find it, the further it seems from you.
You can’t create happiness by filling your short term desires, or
on a journey that is leading you in a direction that is not blessed by
God. Happiness is not an event thing—nor is it a place or a
specific destination. Happiness is not a specific honor, or
an achievement. Those are happy times, but not
happiness. Happiness does not have anything to do with money,
possessions, or achievements.

Happiness is within yourself, placed there by God before you were a
even born. It’s your dream! Happiness goes to those who discover
it and manage to live it.

Your dream is God’s dream as well. Once you discover it,
He will support you in your journey in life. However, once you
you develop it, He will want it back. This is where many people fall
off of the happiness track. Those who keep it, they eventually lose
it. Those who give it to the Lord, get it back blessed even more than
before.

How do you find it? Serve others, and you will learn your strengths
and your gifts. Those things open up the treasure chest that holds
your dream.

PSALM 40:8 “My God, I want to do what you want. Your teachings are in my heart.”
