Being that I have only understood the vital importance of having faith, I lived a life of dependence on situations and circumstances for happiness. When things would go the way I wanted them to or luck happened to be on my side, I felt happy. But, once things started going a little haywire in my life (i.e. stress, family issues, friend/relationship issues, etc.), I was so miserable.
What kind of life is that? Being controlled by outside influences and not having any resources for happiness within myself... Thank God for faith.
I want to be somebody who always has a sense of joy, no matter the time or place. That's another thing that Jesse taught me; unconditional optimism and joy. Every day, I'm more and more thankful for having faith in God. He gives me so much comfort and hope, no matter what happens.
God may have closed one door but it's amazing the doors He's opening for me all the time.
