I don't focus on happiness as a goal or an end.

Black people have always been more than our pain. The joy is so much a part of how we have survived and thrived.

If you're not careful to think and speak words of faith, worry will creep in, and it will not only steal your peace and joy, it will steal your 'today.' The present is the greatest gift God ever gives us. So hold on to the peace that's yours in Christ. Don't let it go.

Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
