Happy are the people whose God is the LORD - Psalm 144:15

---



Can never forget this verse... this was the verse that Wayne preached about during my first cell group meeting in CHC...


We are commanded to be HAPPY. This is the word of the Lord...

Happiness is not a subjective mood based on different times and seasons. It is an attitude of optimism that everything is going to be alright, even though our circumstances seem to dictate otherwise.


"It does not take any effort to grow weeds in our gardens... if you love weeds in your garden, do nothing," Pastor Phil Pringle says. "...But it takes great discipline to grow great trees."


Likewise, if you want to be pessimistic, do nothing. The devil will do the job for you.


But it takes great effort, great tenacity and great faith to praise God even in your darkest hours.
