Don't worry, be Happy

It's not just a song, it's a way to live. Jesus gives you peace and joy, even when the "you know what" hits you square in the face. I have had cancer twice. Sucked both times. I also had peace and joy in my heart, and that is what separates me from someone who does not know Jesus. Jesus gives you joy when you should have none. I also had to choose to have it. If I had focused on my circumstances alone then I would have been S.O.L. I chose to focus on God and I had joy and peace, to the point that a nurse even said to me, "you know, people usually freak out about now." I cannot explain the peace, other then it was the Spirit of God. If you have never had that peace then I am sorry, your life sucks. I am not saying that it was easy, it was cancer for craps sake. It was hard to go through radiation, and to loose body parts. It sucked hardcore. In my heart I had joy, even though my circumstance at the time screamed out that I shouldn't.

If you have ever blamed God for how your life has turned out, have you ever stopped to think that God is not to blame.
You must not have known that He wants to give you peace.
You must not have known that if you give God the finger, then it's not his fault that your life has sucked.
You must not have known that God is for you, not against you.
You must not have realized that when your life was awesome and there were no problems that you didn't blame God because your life was great.
So why do it when the shit hits the fan (yes, I said it). Pain is NOT going to go away in your life, how you deal with it can change. You can have peace in the pain if you let Jesus lead your life. I promise you that is true because He did it for me.
