I generally read only the bible. Once in a while I will read content to inspire me to be my best. I’m not fond of dreamy books or romance novel. Lately, I have been reading a few magazines. One was focused on happiness. As soon as saw the magazine, I said to myself, Jesus is the way to happiness. To me this obvious. But not all know this. As I read the articles, it became clear that although Jesus is the way to happiness, some find it hard to rely on Jesus to have happiness.
Prime example: living a simplier life will make you happy. We all have goals. Striving and hustling to make the goals become reality can stress you. Our ambitions can cause us to lose focus of what God our Father has called us to do. Now, goals are good; the problem is if the only motive in life is to accomplish goals.
Continue to strive to reach your dreams. However, I caution that it is not your main focus in life. Our main focus should be to serve God, to complete his will for our lives. Everything else will fall into place. We remove the pressure that we’ve set on ourselves and focus more on what we were designed to accomplish.
