Forgiveness is the cornerstone for you to be happy. Believers, Christ followers, are commanded to be joyful. Joy is a choice, yet we can't choose ourself to be joyful. As a believer, you should be a thermostat, not a thermometer. Set the temperature in the room, not just be in it. 1. Identify the joy stealers in your life and don't spend time with them. 2. identify the joy bringers and spend time with them. 3. Make an "even though" decision to be joyful at all times in every scenario. 4. Rejoice over what heaven rejoices over. 5. If you want to have the joy of Jesus, then serve. Be a servant. Jesus > you. Choose before you have to decide.
