Where does happiness come from?
Where does happiness come from?
The bible tells us that once you are in Christ, you are a new creation, the old has passed and there a new you. Happiness can’t be measured by moments, or by time. It is something you feel when you are satisfied from within, despite the brokenness you experience sometimes in life, but the joy of the Spirit give you large portion of happiness to continue your journey.
Sometimes you feel that some things are there to stop this happiness of yours or try to take it away, I say don’t be afraid. God did not give us the spirit of fear, don’t be afraid of anything. Do not be afraid what the future holds, because we know who holds the future. Don’t worry as long as you remains sincerely penitent, God will forgive you everything. Everyone makes mistakes but as long as you confess our mistakes, and try to reach perfection in Christ, He will always be there for you. You must try to dismiss your fear and search for true happiness where God’s seed is and where He wants you to be. Submit to His will and His plan for you and He will give you true inheritance in His kingdom.
Love is the source of happiness, and if you know how you love, than you may be able to reach the true love of Christ within you, the love of Jesus is the pure Love that you can have to reach your destiny and happiness in this life.
Everything can be atoned for and everything can be saved by love if we believe and trust God more. Love is such a priceless treasure that you can redeem everything in the world by it, and expiate not only your own but other people’s failings. Catch your happiness with the love you have in your heart and don’t be afraid.
Ecclesiastes 2:26 “To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”
