Eternity will be so much better than anything we are going through today. Life here has many problems and possibilities but for many of us we seem to have more problems than possibilities. Eternity with God will be so much more than anything that we have to live through here. Get to know Jesus. Read the Bible. It’s not just a book about what you can do or can’t do, it is God’s love letter to us. He shows us how much He loves us and that love is the basis of all of the blessings that we have now and the unknowable wonder of heaven that we will have there.
Our righteousness and justice both come from God and our relationship with Him. But so many people today don’t consider God as their Savior or even consider that our relationship with God should dictate how our lives should be lived. God gave us the wisdom contained in the Bible, regardless of which version you read, and it is the best guidebook for living that we could ever have!
God loves you and your life matters to Him. Live your life by following Him every day and you will find that life is not as hard to live. God’s presence in your life, beginning with reading even a single verse every day, can make your life so much better. Many don’t seem to understand that God’s presence in their life every day can make every day better.
What’s your top tip to be successful in life?
That’s number one, but also love your children from birth to the end.
What’s a common misconception people have about happiness?
It seems that most people think that happiness depends on the amount of money you have or even the amount of stuff that you have. Happiness is fleeting and it is dependent on different things for each person.
For some, it may be security. For some it might be their job and the security it brings (money). Happiness fluctuates almost daily for some people.
I look at being happy as a reflection of the joy I have in my relationship with Jesus Christ. Nothing can take it from me, regardless of what may be happening around me. So… my joy is what gives me happiness.
