God is good, God does good, and oh, how He wants you to be happy.
In her new book, The Sacrament of Happy: What a Smiling God Brings
to a Wounded World , Lisa Harper unveils that happiness is a gift
from God that we can unashamedly enjoy. Happiness tends to be cast
as a fluffy emotion without substance rather than a biblical
concept, but this is not theologically accurate. Wearing the twin
hats of both seminarian and belly-laughing adoptive mom, Lisa
Harper dismantles the old-school idea that joy, not happiness, is
the truly spiritual emotion, and asserts that Christ-followers are
actually called to happiness. We are called to happiness, and this
happiness is not impacted by personal or global tumult. In fact,
happiness is a sacrament. The general definition of sacrament is "a
visible sign of inward grace." In communities of faith, it most
often refers to holy communion or the Eucharist. In the broadest
understanding, however, a sacrament is a gift bestowed by God, and
in that case, 'happiness' is absolutely a sacrament-a visible,
sometimes even audible, sign of inward grace! Lisa shares
heart-wrenching difficult stories from her past, as well as some
side-splitting hilarity along the way. Throughout the book, we see
that happiness and sadness can coexist and ebb and flow like the
tides. Christine Caine, Founder of A21 & Propel Women, had this
to say about Lisa's new book: " The Sacrament of Happy -like all of
Lisa's messages and books-enriches my understanding of God and His
Word-and His great love for us. As always, she unfolds biblical
truth so clearly and calls me to action. Every. Single. Time."
