I was scrolling through Pinterest at 1am when I saw the quote, “True happiness is not out there. True happiness lies within you.” It sure sounds beautiful, but it is a lie. I don’t know about you, but I fail a lot. I say things when I should really hold my tongue. I do things without thinking. I have regrets. If I relied on myself for happiness, I would be severely disappointed.
The quote should read “true joy lies within Jesus.” He is perfect. He will never leave us, disappoint us, or fail us.
Don’t believe the lies of Pinterest, social media, & the world; don’t believe that you alone can make yourself happy. Don’t settle for temporary happiness — seek the everlasting joy that only comes from Jesus.
