“Happiness is found in three things: letting go of what was, enjoying what is, and having faith in what will be.” Mother Teresa

We’re all striving for peace and happiness in life, and Mother Teresa has given us a road map to achieve it Biblically. First, Isaiah 43:18 tells us to, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.” That’s because God is not part of the past…but rather the God of restoration and renewal. So we should also let go of the past and embrace the new things of God in our life. Secondly, we should enjoy the present…for each new day is indeed a gift from God. Hebrews 3:13 says we are to, “Encourage one another daily, as long as it’s called Today.” For today is all we have, and tomorrow is never guaranteed. Finally, we need to trust God for our future. Ecclesiastes 8:7 makes it quite clear, “No man knows the future.” Life is unpredictable, and it takes humility and trust in God to face what is to come, but we can rest assured that God’s love will be ever constant and unchanging in the years to come. (Romans 8:38)
