Let's prepare our heart, mind and soul to receive and accept His happiness.
Scripture is very clear as to what we need to do to live in His happiness. Ask the Lord daily to share His happiness with you. We were made to receive His blessings. He gave us all things to enjoy abundantly. Our life is full of wonderful things. Look around. Do something awesome. Look for the laughter and fun that God has placed in your life. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you be aware of all the blessings He has placed in your path today. Offer yourself to Christ completely at the beginning of every day. Ask for the mind of Christ today.

Each daily “action plan” introduces:
the Promise—Happy verses of Old and New Scripture from the Heart of God. Study the Promise, repeat the Promise, ask how this verse applies to your life; the Passage—an encouraging word, a bit of history, a leadership lesson, a warning, an instruction, an invitation an explanation or assurance; the Prayer—commit what God has revealed to you from the Promise in prayer; the Plan—based upon what had has revealed to you, write out at least one action point that you would like to complete before the day’s end; the Praise—an attitude of gratitude! Throughout the day or at the end of the day jot down all of today’s big and small blessings
How to be Happy…from the Heart of God encourages readers to be aware of their happiness level by participating in the Spiritual Happiness Profile, a quick and easy assessment of where your happiness levels fall on a scale of one through seven.
