Will You Be

Why are you sad?
Does God ever tell you to be happy?
Didn't He say "...be of good cheer.  I have overcome the world" (John 16:33) 
"Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice" (Philippians 4:4)
I know this much
Gladness or sadness are all the Lord's
Sometimes the Lord makes us feel things
Think things
But the final solution is always happiness
When God doesn't want you to do something, you can't do it
When God doesn't want you to be sad, you can't be sad
So ask 
He will give
You don't want to live a life full of sadness
Tears 
Come on 
Life is so much more
Aren't you missing out on something?
So think 
Ask 
And live
