Every person desires true happiness. It is the quest of every human, regardless of culture, country or religion. The longing for happiness lies deep in the heart of everyone. Yet few find true happiness. Why? Why do all search for and desire true happiness, but so few find it, keep it and live it? From a Christian perspective there is only one way to happiness and that is through Jesus Christ. God’s spirit enables us to live a Christian life in the hope and joy of knowing that eternal life awaits us in Heaven. 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. Happiness comes from God. It is a happiness that lasts. It brings an inner peace regardless of circumstances. No matter what situation or difficult circumstance that we face (and we all face them), true happiness remains. In fact, it can even grow stronger in adversity. The happiness through Jesus is a contentment that fills the soul, even if the eyes are filled with tears. True happiness is not based on success or failure, wealth or poverty, fame or obscurity. As we journey with Jesus, we will learn what He taught on true happiness.
