One of the secret to happiness is to remain docile to God…docile to His Holy Spirit.
Life is so uncertain, but if by the grace of God one becomes aware of His Presence even in the smallest details of life, as he wakes up, as he does the very ordinary and routines of the day…as he relates to his family, friends and relatives…in his work…in all that he does…and in all the things around him.
Then he begins to experience God’s love…it allows the person to know the Lord…to know Him better, to know Him in the ordinary and in the routines of his life…to know Him in a very personal way.
One knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ is…He would do anything, even shake the foundation of the universe to give…to give His all…all that is good for us according to our individual needs…pressed down and overflowing.
This is the love that brought Jesus to the cross…to give His best…to give His all…including His life…at a cost of a very slow, painful and agonizing death.
Knowing and experiencing Jesus’ love…makes one secured to face the uncertainties of life…secured that God would never abandon…whatever comes in life…difficulties, trials or success…we face it with joy in our heart.
Joy, because we know that we allow God’s work to be fulfilled in us and through us…joy because we sense meaning and fulfillment in living life’s uncertainties.
