HOW TO BE HAPPY


God's Word tells us how to be happy. If we have a good and
pure heart as the basis of our actions, we will have happiness.
If we live continually in the boundaries of God's will, we will
know true happiness. Happiness is the result of a pure heart
and obedience.

Heavenly Father, we thank you and praise you that you have
revealed to us the way to find true happiness. Give us a pure
heart and the determination to obey, so that we may know
you fully. In Jesus' name.

Read Psalm 119:1

"Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk
according to the law of the Lord." (NIV)

"Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law
of the LORD." (KJV)

Happiness (or what I prefer to call joy) is achieved by glorifying the Father. All good things come from Him and through Him.

"The glorious excellencies and beauty of God will be what will forever entertain the minds of the saints, and the love of God will be their everlasting feast. The redeemed will indeed enjoy other things; they will enjoy the angels, and will enjoy one another: but that which they shall enjoy in the angels, or each other, or in anything else whatsoever, that will yield them delight and happiness, will be what will be seen of God in them."
- Jonathan Edwards

Thanks for your post of happiness... :)
