The Pursuit of Happiness: Happiness is a by product, not an end in itself. Many people are pursuing happiness without knowing exactly what they are looking for or where to find it. Happiness cannot be pursued anymore than one can pursue a cloudless day, gasp it, put it in a bottle, and then bring it out on a rainy day to enjoy again. True happiness is not superficial and fleeting, as a day at an amusement park might be. True happiness begins when one is in a right relationship with God. In fact, God is the only source of true happiness, because He offers those intangibles that we mistakenly believe can be found on earth....., contentment, security, peace, and hope for the future. None of these can be found in a job, a human relationship, money, power, or position. They are Gods alone to give. That is why the Lord Jesus, in His Sermon on the Mount, told where ultimate happiness lies when He said, Happy are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. đđđ But happy is the man who has the God of Jacob as his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God. Psalm 146:5
