Robbie asked, “God, When Will the Happiness Come?”

God said:

Yes, Robbie, when will the happiness come? I will answer you, yet I won’t give you a date. 
 
It isn’t so much that I answer questions. I answer the hearts of people who ask questions. If I answer: The world will sparkle in amazing Divine Light on a specific date in 2016… this isn’t really a helpful answer. It doesn’t help you to grow. Let Me tell you more.
 
My children tend to think that happiness is an outside job. It is such an inside job, you have no idea. Heavenletters that emphasize this point already exist. You have read them. Still, you are waiting for happiness to be handed to you. I tell you not to wait.
 
Let Us just say as an example that you won the $280,000,000 million dollar lottery. Let’s just say this for the sake of convenience. You would be happy, yes? Extremely happy, and this happiness will last a while, but not forever.
 
The happiness you gain will last longer than the happiness you might get from a lollipop, yet the happiness doesn’t last forever. You find you have other problems to solve. You have people asking you for money. Do they like you for yourself or for your money? You still have to handle your money. Meanwhile, you still are longing for your true love.
 
Okay, let’s just say that you won the lottery today. You are very very happy indeed. Excited. Overjoyed. Delirious with joy. You even have a little smile on your face right now with the thought of it.
 
At the moment of extraordinary joy from winning a fortune, the matters that usually make you unhappy won’t have power over you any more -- for a while! If someone gives you a dirty look, you probably won’t even notice. If you did notice, what would you care? If someone walking past jostles you and doesn’t say, “Excuse me,” you wouldn’t care that he was rude and showed no respect for you. You have other happier things on your mind. The fact is that at this time in our story, what might have bothered you before won’t bother you now, certainly not to the degree it used to.
 
Why not? Because you’re simply too happy to get sidetracked from happiness. An outside event such as winning the lottery can make you very happy. An outside event such as a car accident can make you feel very unhappy. 
 
Happiness itself isn’t outside you. Nor is unhappiness outside you. You bring them in.
 
You might say, “God, what if in that car accident I broke both legs, are You saying I caused my own unhappiness?”
 
Yes, I am. I’m not saying you would like breaking your legs. I am saying you wouldn’t use two broken legs as an excuse to be miserable. All depends upon how you deal with whatever you have to deal with. It doesn’t depend upon what has happened to you. 
 
I’m saying that there have been people with no legs who have won races and other kinds of tournaments. They outdid those with legs. There have been people who kept their own legs but were told they would never be able to walk. And these very people did walk.
 
Innocent people have been imprisoned for maybe thirty years or the whole rest of their lives and died in prison, yet they made peace with their lives, and they made their lives worthwhile for themselves and others. What is their secret?
 
I will tell you. The secret is that they didn’t hold on to the unfairness. They got on with their lives.
 
If you truly want to be happier than you are now, then be happier right now.
 
Look at all your blessings. Look, you asked a question of Me and got an answer. Not the answer you wanted. You wanted a specific date. With your thoughts, you can now feel disappointed, even aggrieved. With your thoughts, you can also feel glad and grateful. This is great wisdom in life I am giving you right now. Roll with the punches, Robbie.
 
I could tell someone the exact moment he will become enlightened. He still might well not be happy because he has been expecting great happiness to be given to him on a silver platter.
 
Everyone has a choice about how he will receive happiness. Everyone has a choice about how he will give happiness. Be a receiver, yes, and be a giver.
 
And so I ask you, Robbie: When will the happiness come?

I'm waiting for a liberating

I'm waiting for a liberating event to happen. I don't feel being happy under these circumstances is possible.

Feeling unhappy

Dear Robbie,
in my opinion, it is ok to feel unhappy.
Perhaps you have heard, that a few days ago a jet crashed into the mountains in France. 150 people were killed. No one would expect the families, who lost a beloved person, to be happy. Yes, there are circumstanced, where pain is a normal reaction and unhappyness an appropriate state of beeing.
But this does not last forever. Even the sun will die down.
Robby, can you make peace with beeing unhappy now? Are you able to say "Yes, I'm unhappy now and it's ok." ?
From my heart I wish you times of beeing happy, Robbie.
Be blessed.
Uwe

That's your story, beloved

That's your story, beloved Robbie, and you stick to it. You are stubborn just like most of us!

We all care about you, dear Robbie. You must know that. Please don't refuse even a little happiness. You are brave to say what you say because you know we want you t o be happy.

It sounds like you are determined to be unhappy. Oh, boy, if you had this determination to be happy, you would be the happiest person alive!

This is the picture I have:

You are sitting in a chair with perhaps a glum expression on your face. You have your arms folded across your chest to protect yourself.

You say:

"How can I possibly be happy in the situation I am in?"

Perhaps you are really saying:

"Show me. Show me how I can be happy."

And we who love you are all saying:

"Show us, Robbie. Show us how you can."

And then you smile at us. You stand up. And you show us!

Let me ask you, dear one. How did you feel when you saw this Heavenletter that God wrote in response to your sweet sincere question:

When will happiness come?

I don't know how I felt. Why

I don't know how I felt.
Why must God speak in riddles ? Can't he be specific ?

Robbie's dilemma

First a disclaimer....what I say represents my thinking, not necessarily God's.
Robbie...there is one thing you have going for yourself. No matter how depressed,
or bad things are, You are not at the bottom. Why?

Because you know there is meaning to your difficulties. Why is there meaning?
Because you know there is a maker, an author. As such, there is a hope that you
will understand your suffering and it will get better. If it does great. If it doesn't, there
is still hope that it will.

Further, if you suspect God is caring, has love and concern, you also suspect that
that where you are at won't be forever.

The true bottom is suffering without hope, and believing in nothing. That is the scariest
thing, nothingness. You have something and all that's required is that you hold on to it.
That is the key to your life.

The amazing thing, Robbie,

The amazing thing, Robbie, is that you asked your question. That was GR8. You asked it simply and beautifully:

When will happiness come?

Think of how many people don't ask their questions, Robbie?

And, then, God picked up on your sweet simple question and wrote a whole Heavenletter in response to you. That doesn't happen every day either. I don't know that it has ever happened l before.

God singled you out. Does that seem like nothing to you, dear one?

Let's have it in all our hearts that today is the day happiness comes for you. It comes because you embrace it. Let go of defeat.Embrace happiness, dear Robbie. Accept happiness.

What would make you happy, Robbie? Would knowing a date give you happiness.

There was a book I read many years ago. It was a novel, yet even in fiction, there is truth. The name of the book was an Episode of Sparrows. The author was Rumer Godden. In the book, a young woman asks the older woman:

Is it true then that no one is happy?

The older woman answered:

Yes, it is true. It is true. But they are happy in spite of it.

What would make you happy, dear friend?

story

That's a special story Gloria.....

All depends upon how you

All depends upon how you deal with whatever you have to deal with.
It doesn’t depend upon what has happened to you.
Look at all your blessings.

Look at them every day, write them down, count them in your mind before falling asleep.....
Blessings are flocked on us every moment.

Here are 2 things that

Here are 2 things that invariably make me happy. Robbie, I bet you have some little things like this too:

Hanging clothes outside in the fresh air.

Hearing the birds sing.

Can't here all winter. Can in the spring.

Loving you, Robbie!

So many things that make us feel happy

How right you are Gloria, there are so many tiny things which we all have I feel that make us
happy.

There is music that I just can't resist, it makes me smile all the time....

Anotherr thing that makes me so happy is spring, such an amazing time :

Tons of love.

You are so right, Berit. I

You are so right, Berit.

I have thought that we could share some of these little things on this forum, of course.

If we give links to other sites, no matter how good -- welll, others will give links to their favorite sites. Our past experience was that we were over-run. If it's okay for one person, it has to be okay for others, of course, it has to be all right for others.

Please understand and refrain.

Thanks.
.

so sorry dear. It was just

so sorry dear. It was just in the spur of a moment but of course I do understand. Tons of Love always dear.

Beloved Berit, you did

Beloved Berit, you did nothing wrong, sweetheart. You were expressing your loving heart which loves to share. Thank you for your understanding and for not being offended.

One thing that makes me

One thing that makes me happy is the sight of the pear trees when they bloom. The white flowers are breathtaking, especially on a tree lined street where they almost connect to each other. Another thing that makes me happy is sitting outside on my porch in warm weather…drinking a cup of coffee or a glass of wine…and watching the branches of the trees across the street sway in the wind.

Yes, Andreaz, this is like

Yes, Andreaz, this is like poetry!

Are you a poet?

Happiness

Happiness doesn't mean we stay happy by force; it means we should stay happy by our own choice. In most of the occasion we asked question to god that when will happiness come; but we are not aware of the condition that how our own work will bring happiness for us. This article describes about the secret of happiness and I am sure while following these tips we are able to stay happy forever.

Dear Grant, The optimism

Dear Grant,

The optimism you express is not my experience, dear one. I wish it were so easy to be happy. Please know I love comments like yours that make me think!

You said: I am sure while following these tips we are able to stay happy forever.

We can put on a brave front, of course, yet I don't think we can be happy by force in the first place. We can sometimes get ourselves out of the doldrums this time or last time or next time.We don't HAVE to be unhappy, yes.

Secondly, is there a should when it comes to happiness? I kinda have difficulty with shoulds.

Meanwhile, we don't have to be unhappy! If we are unhappy, we can still be unhappy and and achieve great things. Unhappiness is not an excuse..Meanwhile, we move forward and take responsibility for our lives. .

God in Heavenletters tells us that we will come to greater and greater happiness. All of us will. We will grow to greater happiness.. I believe this with all my heart.

As we keep looking for happiness, we will see more of it. Whenever something really good happens, it happens easily. Meanwhile, dear one, I don't see that happiness comes from a quick formula we personally follow.
