When I was 7 years old all i wanted is a small BMX bike to play around the house and I got it.

When I became 10, I wanted a skateboard and I got it and my dream came true.

Later when I was 12, I wanted to be member in the local football team, I became a bench player.

When I was 15, I wanted to love someone and to be loved and got a nice girlfriend. I wanted to become a Priest when I reached 17 but God was preparing me for something else.

I completed my university degree, got the car, wanted to settle, got married and I got 2 lovely kids. Was I HAPPY? The answer is Yes and No.

But I said to myself, if I got the iPhone, I would be happy, but that didn’t happen. Maybe if I got the iPad?!! No, same result.

When I bring new clothes, phone, car…I would feel happy for a while, and later I needed a new "happiness dose".

But JOY which is superior to happiness, is found in the bible in 1Peter 1:8-9 "Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls”.

So My Joy is not with the stuff I buy, but with the One who purchased me for His family and forgave me forever. Jesus Christ.
