I Don't Want You to be Happy

I got your attention didn't I? Do I care about your happiness? Sure.
Do I want you to be happy above all else? Certainly not. 

I want you to know the truth. 

I don't want you to make choices based on feelings.  

I want you to evaluate what's real.  

I don't want you to live in fear.  

I want you to know the truth.

I don't want you to get caught up in finding your purpose.  

I want you to know that you are meaningful wherever you are.  

I want you to know that your timing is not perfect.   

I want you to know that you are forgiven.  

I don't want you to live in shame.  

I want you to know that healing is possible.  

I want you to know that talking it out is more helpful than hurtful.  

I want you to know that you're going to fail.  

I want you to know your control is an illusion.  

I don't want you to live in loneliness.

I want you to know that you are never alone. 

I want you to know that you are loved. 

Above all, I want you to know the greatest love of all. 

If I could only give you ONE thing it would not be for happiness but I would want you to know that you are loved tremendously, unconditionally, without hesitation, regardless of your mistakes, with or without your love in return. I just want you to know the love of Christ. In turn you will be happy. But do I desire your happiness above spending a sorrowless and painless eternity with the King of the World? I absolutely do not. Why? Because I love you. And if the love I express toward you is truly genuine then I would want you to experience life abundantly.
