'I'd be happier if...'

Ask yourself that. I'd be happier if...what!? If you had a faster car? A better paid job? A slimmer husband/wife? Perhaps a new and improved boyfriend? Bigger muscles? A smaller butt? A wide-screen, 3D home cinema with surround sound? A holiday to the Maldives? If you watched a little more porn? Had a more vibrant social life? More adventure? A dirty weekend away in some Travel Lodge? Greater popularity, plaudit or pay checks? An affair with someone? Or perhaps just a nice bar of chocolate?

Maybe you'd find a glimmer of happiness in some of these things. I dunno? But they'd be flawed and/or limited; I absolutely guarantee that much. They'd maybe all fill the void momentarily, but all come with an expiration date. Earthly highs always do and always will.

The majority of Christians probably portray Jesus in quite a poor light. I'm sure I do too, and I'm incredibly sorry if/when I do. But if you're reading this and wondering how you could be happier, please ignore the bad press and give the hype a chance. He's worth it and may just help you answer that tricky opening question.
