Happiness in God alone

So first I must say that the only true way to be happy is through God. I live by this and realize this and have experienced this. No one can find happiness in anyone but God. True happiness is found in God and nowhere else.

Sorry, I just had to type that in there and make that perfectly clear. Now onto other things.

I just wanted to share some points about a message I heard on Monday. The speaker was talking about characteristics that he did not want in his life as a follower of God. The first negative characteristic would be for people to do things their way instead of God's way. The second was that people would sin and ask forgiveness then sin again and ask for forgiveness again etc.. The third negative attribute was that of always living a life of predictability and doing the 'Christian thing' on the outside but not letting God take control of your life to take you places that you wouldn't dream of. The fourth is living a life without commitment - real commitement to living a life for God. The fifth one I can't seem to remember at the moment. Of course I am not doing a very good job at explaining it but I thought it was well done and gave people something to think about.

Ok thats enough for now. I wish I could remember that fifth point and wish I could have explained what I had heard better. If you want to hear it better, let me know and I connect you with someone who heard it too and I'm sure will do a better job at explaining.
