“Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:4 (ESV)

“What Makes Us Happy”

I am continuing my study in the book, “Get Out of Your Head,” by Jennie Allen. In session 4, Jennie Allen discusses how we are all built for service and connection. Jennie talks about when we stop thinking of ourselves, we can make time for serving others. She stresses this point and how it is the way God built us. (Jennie Allen)

I know how happy it makes me to witness another person’s emotion when I have had a small, or significant hand in helping someone. It is an emotion which makes me feel connected to God and all the good in the world. There are countless lonely people in our world who are in tremendous need of feeling connected to the Lord and to other people.

So when you pray this week, don’t forget to pray about being used by God. Pray to be the one who makes a difference in other’s lives. This is truly what makes us all happy. Making a difference, makes us happy! See where God takes you this week.

“Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38 (ESV)

Counting My Blessings,
