How can I be really Happy?

The Lord desires that our joy may be full. In John 15:11 says, “These things I have spoken to you, that my Joy may remain in you and that your joy may be full.”

Yes, the Lord intends that we may feel the real Joy in this world. But, amidst trials and tribulations that is happening in this world and in our lives; it seems so hard to hold on to the wonderful promises of God and still feel blessed. But the Lord promised. He is so thoughtful that He gave us His Law to guide us and keep us happy while we live in this world as what is written in Psalms 119:1, “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.”

Most often, joy and happiness are personal choices. Being happy is an option. Simple choices made with proper determination can provide much enthusiasm and prevent discouragement. Some people prefer to be unhappy, but everyone can choose to be an optimist and enjoy a reasonable happy life.

If we think to be happy and free is doing our own will, we are mistaken. For when we follow our selfish desires, we are prisoners of worldly pleasures. We must comprehend that the Law of the Lord had been written by God ’s own fingers out from His love for us (Exodus 31:18, 32:15-16) We should take it from John 3:16-17.

When we keep His commandments, we can live a peaceful & happy life. Peace will reign in our hearts despite the everyday chaos of this world. Having hope and confident in our future brings extreme happiness. People who have hope in the future and a relationship with our loving God are powerfully protected against depression. Being happy and enjoying a life filled with happiness and optimism is a desirable objective. This is achieved through one’s own initiative.

God wants us to be happy. He has created this world for us to remember and stay happy in His love. When life throws the option to us, our duty is to always choose to serve the Lord and that is the true way for happiness. My dear friends, choose to be happy. Take the courage to close the door of depression, sadness and anxieties. Open the windows of love, kindness and happiness. May God fill your life and your family with happiness and joy.
