Genuine Joy!

by Tini Tadeo-Castillo

Happiness has nothing to do with earthly treasures--money, relationships or fame--but everything to do with the state of your heart. A joyful mind cannot compare to the temporary high worldly things bring for it contributes so much to your health--mental, physical and emotional unlike any other. It works healing in your body, does wonder to you spirits and is therapeutic to you soul.
How to have genuine joy? True joy can come only from knowing God, surrendering to His plans and will, allowing Him to use all means at His disposal to save you from darkness to bring you to light. It is possible to experience utmost joy and peace when you are assured that He secures your footing in a path He has determined for you. No resistance, no haggling, no struggling. Just obeying--knowing full well that He who created You can and will never bring You to destruction nor harm.
