I've been taught that when things happens and they cause me to laugh or smile, that means I'm happy. But what happen when the day is happy? How do you even picture a laughing or smiling day? If someone ask me what face does the day put on? I'd say a straight face because only what happens to a man each day can describe it. A hectic day, a sad day, a busy day and so on. But what can make a day happy?
I believe the experience of everyone each day isn't the same, so how the day looks is due to the state of mind of each person. If that's it, how can a day be happy for me? Simple, when you have joy within you, you will forget about what is bad/sad about the day and call it a good/happy day. This can only be achieved in the presence of joy and this state doesn't mean that there are no bad situations or circumstances, it means that those things don't determine your happiness but because you have a source that joy springs from which is Christ Jesus.
With the presence of joy, your day becomes completely different from others, then your happy days starts the moment you receive Jesus as your Lord and personal savior. The reason being that, the things you look for around that makes your mind chase different things at the same time and leaves you stressed out are all together found in the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33). As a result, you have righteousness, peace and Joy, all in eternal packages (Romans 14:17).
How long will your day be as bad as the state of your mind? Why don't you cleave to the source of everything you long for - Christ Jesus? He will wash your sins and take guilts away, create in you a new heart, makes you a new person, gives you the Holy spirit and connects you with the Father. All you need is to surrender to His saving hands and Lord and your days will be filled with Joy. There is no other time suitable for salvation than NOW!(2 Corinthians 6:2). SHALOM!
The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
