Disenchanted in this land of a thousand chances

I have friends who have become disenchanted with God, because He didn't fulfill their expectations for their lives, or because the circumstances they prayed about didn't get better, or because they couldn't get over how He could let the horrible things that happened to them, happen.

The problem is, what they're seeking is a feeling of happiness. God isn't there to make them happy, He's there to love them beyond all reason.

Happiness isn't good enough for you

That's right. You were made for better than being happy. Happiness is temporary, and it's based on things going on in your life, things which are usually out of your control, and aren't fulfilling anyway. If happiness isn't good enough for us as children of the One who is Love, then what is?
