How to live with joy?

HOW TO LIVE WITH JOY?

“So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can.” Ecclesiastes 3:12 NLT

I think all human beings want to enjoy life! It is in us to be able to accomplish it. What do we have to do?

1. Rejoice. 
Life is too short to live in bitterness.
Let’s let go of insignificant things that sometimes steal our happiness.
Let’s let go of the anger because of something that was done to us. That only steals our joy.
Let’s let go of that toxic person that doesn’t allow us enjoy life. Let it go!

2. Do what is good.  I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives (Ecclesiastes 3:12)

It is not about living life irresponsibly and abusing others. Life can be enjoyed by doing what is good.
There is great satisfaction when we do what is good while we are in this world.
That way we will be able to go to sleep with a clean conscience, being happy that you were a blessing to someone during the day.

3. God and people. 
I have noticed that the levels of happiness are higher when we live focused on the two eternal beings: God and people.
Material things are temporary, but people are eternal.
It is true, there is a “joy” when trying drugs, love towards money, sin, illicit sex, etc., but that is only temporary and toxic.
We are happier when we serve God through serving people!

“So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can.” (Ecclesiastes 3:12 NLT)

Think about it:

What do you need to let go of that is stealing your joy?
To whom and in what way can you be a blessing to someone on this day?
How can you serve God with your talents through serving people?
