I’d like to know more about happiness . . .

Daily writing prompt
Which topics would you like to be more informed about?

I’d like to know more about happiness, not just in my mind, but in my heart. I want to know more about inner peace, not as a topic but as an ongoing reality.

More information without inner transformation isn’t what I desire. I long to be aligned with hope and joy so that I can be pure in heart.

Rather than filling my head with more and more data, I want to know the Alpha and Omega — the mystery of “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” For me Jesus isn’t just an ancient story, or a religious curriculum designed to make church goers comfortable.

Christ is the source of all the beautiful things my heart longs for and the power to resist and reject the feelings, thoughts, and things that try to wreck my happiness and inner peace. For me, there’s no topic that can compare with letting the risen Jesus light the wick in my heart and brightly burn within me day and night.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
