Being Truly Happy

The one whose wrongdoing is forgiven, whose sin is covered over, is truly happy! The one the Lord doesn't consider guilty—in whose spirit there is no dishonesty—that one is truly happy!

—Psalm 32:1-2

Perhaps it is a good way to leave the month of February, the month where we at least give a passing thought to love and what it means to us, the month where we're reminded more fully of our connection to others, to look at what makes us truly happy.

The truth is we can only be truly happy when our hearts are right with God. We make them right by offering ourselves to him and to his service. He helps us get it right by forgiving our many blunders and unfortunate choices. God loves us, and that is truly reason to be light-hearted.

Today, we have a clean slate of options. We have a chance once again to come to our Father and ask him to show us the way to forgiveness. We can lay our burdens down, for his way leads to truth and light. Filled with his incredible light, our hearts become bigger. We're like the Grinch at Christmas while our hearts swell up five times beyond what they were. That's what makes us happy!

In the Flow

Lord, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be happy in you. Thank you for changing my blunders into chances to draw closer to you. Thanks for giving me a peaceful spirit and a light heart. Amen.
