When the world is falling apart the way we usually respond (complaining, blaming, fighting) usually only creates more problems. Maybe it’s time to try something else. Something that has been available to us all along. Something that isn’t simply “the least we can do,” but actually the most powerful force for good in the world. It also just happens to be the most reliable path to happiness.

We often pride ourselves on our self-reliance, but sometimes the “what if’s” start eroding the confidence and happiness we thought we had. What if I don’t have what it takes? What if I don’t know enough? What if…? There’s a better way. We can find a reliable happiness when we change who we are relying on.
We all think we know what will make us happy. We also think we know what will make everyone else happy… if they would only listen or see the truth. Unfortunately this attitude often creates more conflict than happiness. Maybe happiness doesn’t come from fighting for our own happiness.
The things we hope will make us happy seem to only work for so long. But Jesus promised us a happiness that would never run dry. How can we experience this true, lasting happiness when it seems like the world is falling apart?!
