Why Christians are so Happy.

I see a lot of depressing status's on Facebook, and not only does it make me sad, it makes me way too angry. The devil just thrives on stealing peoples joy. He's done it to me, and I love being able to laugh when he tries to do it now: because it just doesn't happy anymore. Many ask why I'm so happy all the time, and I tell them "Because I'm a Christian, and I have the joy of the Lord". They're usually confused, so I'm going to try and explain it the best I can.

God is just joy. Like, He's a joyful person. What other person is always positive, always on our side, always telling us how He loves us, always forgiving us, always providing for us, never giviing up on us, and promising us life eternally? Nobody. I mean, living day by day knowing all of these things makes me an extremely happy person. Knowing that God knows His plans for me, and has promised me them, makes me even happier! Reading the Bible, and learning more about God, His life, and what He thinks of me, keeps me going during the day.

So many people don't believe in God these days, and I understand that: I'm surrounded by it daily. But then there are those who believe in God, but do not live the Christian lifestyle, which is understandable I suppose. But, living the lifestyle is so worth it. I just can't explain how worth it it truly is. The joy, the promises, the blessings, the excitement, the walk, the talk: it's just exciting! So many people are scared to "convert" because they don't want to give up they're party life, but I can tell you first hand loving Jesus is WAYYY better than anything you'll ever smoke, every drink, or ever bang (for lack of a better word). I became a true Christian last summer, and I honestly could never think of turning back. He's brought me out of depression, and out of suicidal thoughts. Everyone complains about wanting to be accepted by someone, and loved by someone, HELLLLLO? Jesus's word PROMISES US acceptance and love! Everyone complains because they can't find a job, or money, but Jesus is the ultimate supplier! God has supplied me with gas&transportaion since I've been out of work, and we're sitll looking for a job together. But He is the supplier, and lover.


I understand why people don't want to change to a Christian, because I was the same way. But once you have that tast of Jesus, you're gonna want Him more and more and more and more and more and more until you're just a spitting image of Jesus :)

Theres this Natalie Grant song that I just ADORE. The chorus goes:

"So make me over, make me new. Make me a mirror, a reflection of you. Take me all apart, take me to Your heart and hold me closer. Oh Jesus, make me over".

I encourage you to look up the lyrics to that song, or listen to it. It makes me cry listening to it, because it is SO moving.

I don't really know how to end this blog....haha. Just be blessed, and think about how happy you could be, if you haven't found the Lord already. I promise with my life, He is the best thing that can happen to you.
