Happiness does not come wrapped in brightly colored packages as a “gift” given to us by others. Happiness comes when we uncover the gifts that lie within us and begin to use them to please God and bless others. Happiness flows from within. It rises up in life’s greatest tragedies when we choose to smile at what we know to be good and lasting, rather than to cry at what temporarily hurts us. The person who is born with a talent which is suppose to be used finds their greatest happiness in using it. Happiness is a choice. Read: Acts 20:24 TLB, Joshua 24:15, Psalm 144:15
