Ever wondered why happiness is so elusive. So much of our time and effort is spent trying to be happy. Sometimes we wonder what happiness is or we lose sight of it altogether.  We get caught up in the busyness of life, particularly if you have kids. Perhaps there isn’t a lot that is actually outwardly wrong with your life. You might have a good home to live in, a stable relationship, a reasonable job or study. And yet with all of this in place are you happy, are you satisfied with your life?

We are like fish. Take a fish out of water and it continues to be a fish though it doesn’t cope very well out of water. The most it can do is flop around and gasp for breath. Take a fish out of water and it begins to die because it can’t absorb oxygen from air, eventually it will die. Sometimes fish will jump out of a tank. We are like that; we choose to live independently of God. Outside of God we don’t do very well. Everything becomes self focused, life suddenly becomes all about ‘me’. That’s why we have a ‘MY’ store. We are the ‘me’ generation. And the more we focus on ourselves the less content we are.

The solution is to live as you have been designed. Like the fish on the carpet you need to be put back in the water where you can breath. It is impossible to replace God with your work, your relationships, your home, and your holidays. God is too important to be replaced by anything you might find in this world. You have been made with a particular gap that only God can fill. If you would like to know more about God then visit www. godsgap.net
