joy

all my life, i've always wondered what i wanted out of life. there are so many things that i can't even begin. but one thing i know is that if i could have one thing, it is to be happy.

happiness

does it matter if you're the poorest of the poor and still have someone to always listen to you or if you're the richest person in the world but live in a billion dollar mansion with no one to share it with?

does it matter if you're the ugliest of the ugly but have friends that love you for who you are or if you're the most beautiful person in the world but people only hang around you for your beauty and never once connect with you further than your skin?

does it matter?

love makes the world go round...

in everyone, there is this bottomless pit. some try to fill it with money, some with material possessions, some with death-defying risks and others with people. but there's always this deep longing for something that everything else can't fill.

that is the joy only God can give.

you don't even have to ask. just look at anyone who's a christian. you can see something in them that no one else has. something you'd know it's impossible to find. something only the creator of the universe can give.
