What is HAPPINESS....

What is Happiness (幸福)?, you might ask in the first place.

Wikipedia puts it that way: "Happiness is a mental state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy."


Happiness is to know the Savior,
Living a life within His favor,
Having a change in my behavior,
Happiness is the Lord. - Stanphill


Solomon tells us that God grants happiness to us as a priviledge (Eccl. 3:12, 7:14; 11:9)
And true happiness comes by keeping God's law.
Proverbs 16:20 tells us 'Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the Lord will be joyful.' (NLT)


The foundation for happiness is a proper relationship with Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.


HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON HAPPENINGS, BUT JOY DEPENDS ON JESUS.
