"Happiness is our natural state. Happiness is the natural state of little children, to whom the kingdom belongs....To acquire happiness you don't have to do anything, because happiness cannot be acquired. Does anybody know why? Because we have it already."
Anthony de Mello
"Honor and majesty surround Him; strength and joy fill His dwelling."
1 Chronicles 16:27
Strength and joy fills God's dwelling, and we are that dwelling place of God. His own strength and joy are filling us at all times. This is our natural state, to be joyful and full of God's happiness, to be uplifted and full of God's strength. This is our normal way of being, as God's little ones. He wants us to run and play like a child, full of wonder, without a care in the world, enjoying all the beauties of life and all the joys found in His presence within us at all times!
A thought: I am happy like a child.
