    Finding happiness: 1 Best Way to Finding Happiness Every day.

    Finding happiness is a major desire of lots of individuals and they tend to seek happiness even in the wrong places. Nothing on this side of life can give us true joy and happiness as they are all but for a moment.

    God gives us happiness as a gift. A major theme of this article is our search for fulfillment in God. But for the time being, let’s focus on the joy that God gives. All who have faith in Christ Jesus can rejoice because, through Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, God has provided a means for us to be reconciled to Himself. Thanks to what Jesus Christ has done for us, we have the opportunity to know and appreciate God. What an incredible honor!

     

    Let us not focus on our merits as God’s servants. No! We should focus on the things He has accomplished for us. The completed work of Christ on the cross is what counts, not our imperfect effort. In light of the finished work of Christ on the cross, we can understand that God is filled with joy whenever He looks at us. God loves you exceedingly and delights in you. Real joy and happiness can only be found in God. We give thanks to the Lord for His kindness and for this wonderful present. In the journey of our lives, finding happiness begins and ends with God.

    True joy and happiness originate in our belief in Jesus Christ, regardless of our external circumstances. You can find happiness in Jesus alone. Jesus Christ is the only true source of joy and true happiness that persist forever.

    Keeping a positive outlook helps not only yourself but everyone around you. Would you love to spend time with a perpetual downer or an always happy person? A positive outlook has a contagious effect on those around you.

    Don’t base your contentment and joy on how well you’re doing on your spiritual path or financial accomplishments. You will surely get hurt on this journey to eternal life. Rest on Christ’s accomplished work on the cross for your happiness and tranquility.

    Happiness cannot be bought, only found in Christ. Things in this world are killing us. Therefore, you need to see things in their eternal context because natural things are nothing more than distractions. It’s evident that some of the world’s wealthiest people also suffer from depression. Even though they appear happy in pictures, it’s best to wait for them to be alone before assuming anything. Many of these wealthy people who do not have Christ are always in pursuit of finding happiness. It’s impossible for external factors to ease the emptiness you feel inside. It won’t satisfy you, and it won’t help you find happiness. Only the love of God in your heart produces true happiness.

    How should you handle your happy moments? At every moment of joy, I remember that it is God alone who makes it possible for me to experience that joy. Give God credit, both when you’re feeling good and when you’re feeling bad.

    Do not attribute your success to your effort because if you do, your happiness and joy will disappear when anything happens to your success or accomplishment.

    Share your happy moments with your loved ones, show some love to other people who need love, and tell them how much God cares about them. Happy moments are times when you will want to showcase your achievements and become proud or puffy. During these moments, you must give all the glory to God acknowledging his power and supremacy.

    Conclusion

    True joy and happiness can be found in Christ Jesus alone.
