I've loved this illustration for a while.
I think it a wonderful thought, a simply wonderful thought.
Happiness is a blessing, but not a state of mind.
It is something we as humans, being the sinful and fallen creatures that we are, look for above all else.
We've been taught that through money, sex, success, or just plain "own", we can achieve the ultimate happiness...
Don't we all wish it was that easy.
For the money, we work jobs that ruin our spirit, interrupt our relationships, and cause us depression.
For the sex, we sleep with those who do not belong to us, we steal innocence, and we hurt our brothers and sisters.
For success, we do what it takes to make it on top in this world.
For the "own", we steal, we want, and we idolize.
I am guilty of them all.
How sad to be in a world that is full of "happiness" but struggles so much the pure joy.
Happiness is fleeting... Joy is from our Papa.
"And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." Isaiah 35:10
