We often see ourselves frowning in different situations, like when we are facing heavy problems, or maybe because we just can’t find a reason to be happy. I believe that the fact that everyone of us are facing our own problems is the main reason why most people are wearing serious faces! Well, we see these people everywhere. They could be in your workplace, or in your school, or in your own home, or it could even be you!
But we also know that there are also those times where we could feel happiness even though we have huge problems. Like when you are hanging out with your friends, or your family, or maybe when you are playing a video game. But I want to tell this: Yes, these things can make you happy, but only for a short time. You can only feel happiness in that moment.
“Is there a way where we can feel happiness for a long time?”
I say yes. Let us just look at Moses in this verse:
“When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD.”
-Exodus 34:29, NIV
-Exodus 34:29, NIV
Now I believe that this is the only way: You have to talk to God! After Moses had spoken to God, his face was so radiant that he need to hide it with a veil. The radiance on his face lasted for a long time, even after he talked to the Lord and went down to the Israelites (Exodus 34:30). Unlike hanging out with your friends, or your family (I am not saying that you must stop doing these things), or playing with your video games, talking to God has a longer lasting effect of happiness which could be seen with the radiance on your face.
“So how can I talk to God?”
I can give you these three advices on how you can talk to God.:
- Hear His Word
- Go to the church, or your cell group and listen to your pastor’s or leader’s preaching.
- Read His Word
- Read your bible and do your devotions regularly.
- Pray
- When you talk to Him, do it with an honest and humble heart. Tell to Him everything you wanted to say.
Now I believe that if you do these things, you will have the most radiant face among all your friends. Good day and God bless.
