My View of Life

  In its simplest form, my view on life is that we should all have joy.  The best way I have found to experience true joy is to do things God's way.  Sometimes this means that I sacrifice "fun" in order to have joy and happiness.  God put us all on this earth to learn and to grow and that does not happen if all we do is seek after "fun".

There is a song that says "I can't get no Satisfaction".  This I think is what happens when we listen to the voices of the world and think that happiness comes from finding the path of least resistance and taking it.  In our modern day and age people are always trying to find easy ways to do everything.

Our lives are much more fulfilling when we work hard and go through trials and unpleasantness circumstances but find a way to be happy in the midst of it all.  I know that God lives and is trying to teach us his way daily.  God will not force us to live his way.  It is necessary for us all to choose to listen and study about God our Heavenly Father.  When we study his word and knock on his door through prayer with a question in our heart.  He will show us how to obtain true joy.
