Revolution Day 23: Today, we’re fasting from the thought that says, “If I just find the right person, I’ll be happy.” Or “If this person changes, I’ll be happy.”
Let's CHANGE IT TODAY:
1. Refuse to accept that anyone has the power to make you happy. When we depend on someone else to make us happy, we give them control of our emotions. We must take control of our own emotions. (Genesis 4:6-7)
2. Right relationships can make us happ-IER, but not happy. Surround yourself with the right people, to strengthen your life, but not as the source of your life. (Acts 2:42) Put your trust in God. (Psalm 43:5)
3. Stop condemning and judging yourself. (Romans 14:22) Happy is the man who does not condemn himself. Embrace freedom from condemnation. (Romans 8:1)
4. Ask God for understanding today. Understanding produces happiness—Proverbs 3:13.
5. Give up comparing your life to anyone.
(2 Cor. 10:12) When we compare, we are WITHOUT understanding; and thus, without happiness.
6. Happiness and joy come from meditating on the Words of Jesus. (John 15:11)
THINK IT & SAY IT: I refuse to depend on someone to make me happy. I take control of my emotions and I walk in divine happiness. I reject condemnation, since I am in Christ and I receive supernatural understanding. I will not compare and despair. I meditate on Jesus’ words, and find true joy, in Jesus’ Name!

I use to have a problem with this thought in private. I didn't talk about it much but I felt it...I thought it. I road the fence on this thought. I knew happiness wasn't based on one person but I couldn't help but think, but what if! I absolutely love, love stories because it shows the strength that love has and what it can overcome, but it didn't come without pain and sacrifice. Good relationships take work and you will need God's help!! The right person is God!
