Is this statement a surprise for you? Does it turn upside down everything you`ve heard so far about God and your happiness?:) If yes, very well my friend, as this is the intention:)
It`s the only truth there is, and what you`ve been told up to this day is of little importance because they – whoever told this to you – didn’t know better; either that or they`ve simply passed on to you what they`ve been told by their parents and grandparents, and so on. God wants you to be happy, and if you stick with me until the end of this article, you`ll find out why, too.
If I`d be sitting next to you right now, I would ask you what is your position when it comes to the connection between God and your happiness.
Do you believe God (or Source, Universe, Jesus, Krishna- call it how you want) is this revengeful creator ever ready to punish us when we`re doing “bad” things or do you believe that He wants us to be happy, in any way this happiness may look like?
I am curious to hear your thoughts on this and if you want to know what my stand is about it all, then I am most joyful to let you know that my option is the latter – that God wants us to be happy, no matter how this happiness looks like.
How come?
Because, when we are happy, He is happy, too. He wants but what`s best for us, and therefore, it doesn’t matter the form or way as long as it brings you your happiness.
Since the beginning of mankind, man has given so many faces and names to God and not only that, man has also created so many interpretations as to what does God like/doesn’t like, how and what He is, what he wants/accepts or doesn’t accept.
This isn’t exactly fair, given that God is a mystery yet to be discovered (entirely) and so how can we possibly know, right?
How can we know what He accepts or doesn’t accept? Isn’t it inappropriate to say that God allows (only) this and that when we don’t know who He really is? I am tempted to say yes, as from what I`m observing in my day to day life, people are by far much more interested and busy in coming up with interpretations of their own than to understand who this creator of ours really is.
There is another reason why He wants you to be happy: He loves you unconditionally, and He is glad to know that you`re having a great time here on Earth. If you`re doing what you love and are happy, then God is pleased as well, for it`s what He want for you.
Let`s imagine for a moment a mother having a nice talk with her 5 year old. The child asks its mom to play together but the mother says she can`t as she is busy making lunch. Even so, she wants for her child to play and have a good time. So, she tells the child to go to its room and play there as it has all the toys one can ask for. And the child goes upstairs.
While doing her work, the mother is at peace and pleased as she knows that her child is enjoying her/his time. It`s of little importance to her whether the child is playing with a doll, car, Lego games, painting, singing and so on, because at the end of the day, what matters to her is that the child is happy:)
It`s goes the same with us and God. He wants us to be happy and make the most of our time here on this planet, and what “toys” we choose to play with is not so important. He is our loving father and as long as we are well, doing the very thing that makes our souls smile and sing, it`s enough, it really is:-)
Please trust me on this one:) If it makes you happy – do it. Period. No further questions or details needed.
When you are happy, the whole world rejoice with you as nothing and no one remain untouched by the pure positive energy you`re transmitting:)
Therefore…be happy:) God wants you to:)
Much love,
Cristina
Hi Cristina,
