Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can fully share its joy. (NLT) -Proverbs 14:10 We have to own our emotions. How you feel is only your responsibility. We cannot pass the blame for our grumpiness, sadness, or even let our happiness be dependent on the actions of others. The state of our hearts is something only we have the power to control. Stop blaming others for how you feel. Look to Jesus to give you grace to live through each season that life brings joyfully.

James 1:12-15 KJV Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. [13] Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [14] But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. [15] Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. http://tbibl.es/8pDQ
