Summary: What makes us Happy? I remeber this song...
“And You Make Me Happy”
And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19(NIV)
I. Be Loved
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma. Ephesians 5:1-2(NASB)
You have never seen Jesus, and you don’t see him now. But still you love him and have faith in him, and no words can tell how glad and happy you are to be saved. That’s why you have faith. 1 Peter1:8-9(CEV)
II. Be Satisfied
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33(NIV)
Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. "Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man. Luke 6:20-22(NASB)
what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete. This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:3-5(NASB)
III. Be Happy
Isaiah says,
Someone from David’s family,
will come to power.
He will rule the nations,
and they will put their hope in him."
I pray that God, who gives hope, will bless you with complete happiness and peace because of your faith. And may the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope. Romans 15:12-13(CEV)
