Happiness, Disability and God

"Happiness is basically the awareness of that which is good, but since GOD is the Creator and Source of all good, true happiness, in its deepest sense, is the awareness of GOD. The search for happiness is the search for GOD..." - Elinor MacDonald

People with disability generally feel unhappy. Many times thinking that we would be happy without our disability. The only way to happiness is to be focused on GOD and cease worrying about things which are beyond our control.

Many times our lack of happiness is due to our need to be right all the time. We are ready to go to any extent to prove our point. We may win our point, but does that make us really happy ? No it does not.

When we focus on GOD and live a God-centered life, we will feel happy. We feel happy because GOD loves us. GOD's love is not conditional. HE loves us, the way we are - disability or not. We have to remember, GOD created us the way we are and that HE wants us to be happy.

So in spite of your disability if you stay and be happy then you are bringing glory to HIM and fulfilling his purpose for you
