You deserve to be happy?

I saw this Facebook ad earlier today as I was scrolling down my wall. A couple of things about this particular ad struck me. Initially I was quite taken back by the idea of internet counseling. Emotions and intent are so hard when you can't see a face. But then I thought that there is a whole group of hurting isolated people out there that are solely on the internet. So if this is a stepping stone toward someone getting help then I think it could be a good thing. But only if the person is encouraged to build face-to-face relationships.

The other thing that struck me was the catch phrase, "you deserve to be happy." I don't know if it is the word deserve or the word happy, or perhaps the two put together. Do I feel like I deserve to be happy? or maybe a better way to say it is, Where do I feel like I deserve to be happy? What do I think being happy should look like? 

It seems like it demands some of life's circumstances to change. What if they don't change? What if life keeps throwing lemons at you? If life doesn't change, then where does true happiness come from? 

Doesn't it come from knowing that there is something bigger going on than my pain, and in the middle of it all there is a God who loves me unconditionally. I think I would like this add better if it said, "You can find the true source of your happiness."
