How to Live a Happy Life

Living Beyond Feelings
Living out God’s version of a happy life - being blessed - involves putting the source of all truth, which is God’s Word, into your value systems, philosophies, demands, expectations, emotional assumptions and self-talk. The Bible says the truth sets us free, and Jesus Christ is the living Truth. When we inject the truth into our thoughts, it’s like taking a therapeutic broom and sweeping away the lies that have cluttered our minds.
But more often than not, our feelings block His truth, which ends up blocking our blessings. And our inconsistent and unreliable feelings often lead us to blame something or someone else for our problems. We tell ourselves our lack of happiness is the fault of our husbands, children, jobs, or financial situation (or our lack of any of those things).
God’s word helps us live in truth, rather than living in inconsistent feelings.
