"On this day of your life, Heidy, we believe God wants you to know...
... that happiness has nothing to do with pleasure.

Maybe God really used this Facebook application to let me actually know this. Or maybe it's just coincidence. Maybe not, coz I don't believe in coincidence. But this message is exactly what describes my life right now for the past months. The message hit me right smack in the bull's eye. Yes, happiness is something absolute and that's something I have to learn. Happiness, as the cliche goes, is a choice. It's my choice to be happy and accept life as it is. God didn't say that life will be perfect for me. But He promised to never leave my side. He promised to never leave me crying all alone. He promised to give me strength every time I am feeling weak and frail. And these are enough to make me happy. Real happy.

I realised that if I am looking for something that'd make me happy, what I'd get isn't happiness but pleasure. Happiness is something God planted deep in our hearts. We just have to look for it --not from what the world can give us, not from the outside, but fromwithin us. It's something easier-said-than-done but isn't finding the absolute happiness in our lives is worth all the hardwork? :-)
