Hello everyone! I have read 3 books from Rhonda Byrne and I truly find them amazing. It feels like I have found the meaning of life. At the same time I would like to mention that the books don't claim anything that is in contrary with the Bible. I highly recommend them for everyone.

I think this site is full of great people, I would love to have meaningful conversations:)

May God bless You all! :)

In a few words: Be grateful for everything, appreciate miracles. Be aware that God has a huge power and nothing is impossible for Him. You can have whatever you desire, if you ask it from God, you are full of love and kind to others , and of course you don't have any doubts that God has the power to accomplish it.

Meaning of life, wrong question, the meaning of life is to procreate and live by nature, as a species meant to tend nature. You can find enough meaningful stuff to add value to life, which meaks it a meaningful one. This can be different for different folks, at different times in life. Essentially you live a life in accordance with yourself, and you will probably enjoy life, then you add things to it over time, and cut things out as the phases change. Ammusing yourself is very important. Not being angry is very important. And for those of us that are fortunate enough, faith is the most important thing in life. And is lifechanging. If you do not enjoy life, you must be doing many things that you do not enjoy, or have wrong relationships, or you do not do enough stuff you like a lot. And get a hobby.

Hi dreamer and welcome to CC. Your introduction is very interesting and thought-provoking.

I think the true meaning of life is God and living for him through his will not our own. He knows what's best and if we put it in his hands, he works all things for our good. Sometimes we want things that are against his will. He knows these things would not turn out for our good so he doesn't always give us what we want. Sometimes, he tells us no.

Happiness is just an emotion. It can be changed in an instant with different situations and circumstances. Joy is a fruit of the spirit and it can't be manipulated. Joy is in the Lord. We can have joy no matter our situations or circumstances.

Link
What is the biblical definition of joy? The biblical definition of joy says that joy is a feeling of good pleasure and happiness that is dependent on who Jesus is rather than on who we are or what is happening around us. Joy comes from the Holy Spirit, abiding in God’s presence and from hope in His word.

Biblical joy can be a confusing thing, especially since it’s something that doesn’t come just in the best of times. Because it is dependent on who Jesus is and God’s presence in us as the Holy Spirit, biblical joy is accessible to us even in the worst of times, and it can never be taken away from us.

I encourage you to think this one over again: "You can have whatever you desire, if you ask it from God."

Jesus states the necessary conditions to receive what you desire from the Father: "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you" (John 15:7).

I found that looking for happiness was often the cause of pain. When stopped looking, i felt better able to take action on the present

It's more a mindset. The closing of reliance on others fir affectionandwarmth. The dropping of hopes. No longer visualizing perfection

Yes, but make a post about it in testimony. Could be inspirational and informative for others. You want to inspire and inform, right? You made some typos, are you drunk? There is a testimonythread, do that one, this is the wrong place. If you are in dire straits, post something and we will help you ASAP. Good luck. I wish you the best.

Make a thread in testimony, tag me, do not hijack and make this one about you. I sympathize with your hands issue. I never told you I was a good example to follow, just asked you if you wanted to make a testimonythread and get some help since many posts about despair. Do it now or I go to sleep.Big day tomorrow, got bozes to move, because I have done a move. Got some familystuff to do tomoprrowe too. Need some sleep, you gopt 30 minutes to make a testiimony, then I am going to sleep, but I feel for you and want to help you if you got none else to turn to now. I again wish you the best. We love you and so does God if you turn to him, perhaps that is easest to do, you know your heart best Matthew.

Why? you are the one stressing, not me. Are we to ignore our exchanges? OK, I can go to bed as promised. But the EU regulation that tells us that they keep data for 5 years is still in effect, and they could tell us you have an issue here, not me. But of course I can put on a DVD or something. You asked for help, not me, with putting out misery, not wanting help, gotcha. Good night.
