Transition from sadness 😵 to Joy😁

I am certain I don’t have the qualification to talk about this😂😂😂😂, but one thing i do have , is The Experience of it.

i have noticed a lot of things growing up especially things that revolve around our communities and people’s state of mind🤔

Its like people just keep getting more sad and depressed each passing year, and then there are those that have managed to distract themselves enough to not face it. It’s problematic just like that.

To be honest, i have been in that state for the longest time. Where someone asks you ; “How are you doing?” , and the easiest answers to give are; “I am tired or I am stressed or “EHHH😮‍💨 life is hard.”

But one day, I stopped in my tracks and thought 💭 deep and hard within myself🤔; “What if, what if i am doing it all wrong! What if i changed the narrative from a very depressive and sad response, to one filled with Gratitude and thanksgiving 😃😯✅. A response that considered the good things especially the greatest gift to us , Jesus Christ. And then other things like being alive to experience and see His goodness in this broken world 🌎

Mhen, that perspective changed me forever. I learnt to put my tongue on a leash, and respond positively and with gratitude even with present challenges.

I honestly understand that it can be hard sometimes to choose to be happy and see the light 💡. Things can press and there is room to feel sad. But don’t let this be your permanent state of being😊. Find your joy in knowing that God cares for you, He loves you, and He is fully aware of your life.

I can say, it has changed me in a way. I am now happier naturally 😄and more hopeful, more thankful for Jesus and aware of Gods presence in my life.

This is my testimony, A transition from constant sadness, to love , light, peace and Joy in Christ.💯
