Finding True Happiness The bottom line is that God created us for himself. He created us to be in a right relationship with him. Our physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional makeup, by design, prevents us from experiencing true happiness apart from living a Christ-centered life. We will never find true happiness until God is seated on the throne of our hearts. This is the throne he prepared only for himself.Therefore,let us shy away from unhappiness by living a God designed life.We we come to recognise that God wants us to have two attitudes toward sin. First, he wants us to mourn its presence in our lives. He wants us to repent with tears. Second, he wants us to exercise restraint in the face of temptation. He wants us to put our power under the control of his Holy Spirit.This way we can begin to experience True Happiness,only and only if we yield to the obidience of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 5:1-12 (NIV). Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them, saying: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way,they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Brothers and Sisters ,have you ever considered the fact that God wants you to be happy? Yes, God wants all of us to be happy, but with one distinction. He wants us to realize that happiness is not a Destination. In fact, when we make happiness our destination, we end up in misery. Rather, happiness is the scenery we experience as we draw closer to God in obedience. Happiness is the byproduct of a pro-God attitude and lifestyle.
