before i went to sleep last night, i sent a message to my sister telling her my state of unhappiness. this morning, she asked me why do i think i'm not happy? have i lost my joy? she reminded me that as a child of God, there would be unhappy times but deep inside, we can still find peace and joy. she asked about my quiet time, which has been unintentionally removed from my schedule. my sister also reminded me of certain struggles in life, and that though we think we have everything, we could never be truly happy here on earth. i know this is true because if we are so contented or fully satisfied here on earth, then we wouldn't yearn for heaven anymore. i was also reminded that satan may be playing with my emotions. as advised by king solomon, we should guard our hearts because it is deceitful.
to resolve the crisis, go back to the basics. quiet time. guard my heart. be still and trust God.
