The word tells us enjoy and rejoice, because your reward is great in the heavens. Many believe that to be happy we need everything, by this I mean they need houses, cars, lots of food, money and the things that the world offers, but in reality it is not so; Each and every one of us must keep in mind that who makes us happy is and always will be God.
I am not saying that material things are bad, because that is not the case, we have to remember that everything in this life is temporary, but the love of God and his word remain forever and ever. We must learn to create treasures in the heavens and in case the word tells us to rejoice because we have a big reward up there.
Daddy God sends us to always be happy and it should always be that way, because we have your support at all times, evidence will come, it is more than clear, but remember we have a doctor par excellence, a lawyer who defends us, a teacher who teaches us , a potter who transforms us, a sustainer and provider, God is that and much more, that's why we have to rejoice, because God will be the same yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever.
@carmentita, the purpose of God is that each one of us be happy, however it is in us to choose although the joy is given by the Lord.
Thanks for sharing.
