Seeking happiness is not as hard to find as most of us think. One of the first things Jesus told us to do is, "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things will be added to us." He will add that peace and happiness to our journey.
Jesus taught the Beatitude-Kingdom blessings-on the mountain, he began his statement with Blessed are. Blessed translated means happy are. In every statement, he said we will be happy if we do this and that:
Matthew 5:3-12 HAPPY
Blessed -happy- are the poor in spirit :...
Blessed are they that mourn ...
Blessed are the meek :...
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst: ...
Blessed are the merciful: ...
Blessed are the pure in heart: ...
Blessed are the peacemakers: ...
Blessed are they which are persecuted...
Blessed are ye, when me shall revile you,...
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven:...
Christians across the nation should practice the Sermon on the mountain, because it lets us know we are going to be tempted, tested and tried in every way. It is up to us to maintain our peace and happiness through the Holy Spirit, who gives us the Fruits of the Spirit.
Until we meet again - soon.
