Everyone wants to be happy. Isn’t that the greatest goal in life? But sometimes trying to find happiness can be a struggle. Often times we search for it in all the wrong places or ways, when the answer is much simpler- God. "Happy are the people whose God is the Lord" Psalm 144:15. The Bible guides us to happiness through God's Word!
What is happiness?
Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive
or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. Happy
mental states may also reflect judgement by a person about their overall
well-being.
So let's take a deeper look at what the Bible say about happiness:
True happiness is a gift from God.
* Psalm 4:7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
* Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith.
* Ecclesiastes 2:26a For God giveth to a man that is good in His sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy.
* Ecclesiastes 8:15 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
* Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
With all that said, as a child of God you have the right to be happy. Below is a video by Bishop TD Jakes - 'Own your own happiness"
