Happy life

Happy life starts the moment we start to believe and follow God. One can't be truly happy without having God in one's life. When God is with us he gives us so much happiness that can't be expressed in words, we just experience it. But this happiness lasts only till we have determination, commitment and love for God.

The world we see today seems that it is devoid of goodness. But it is not so. It is the way of looking at things. Two persons looking at same thing may see it differently.  Person having negative thoughts will always see the bad and evil things of this world. He will say the world is corrupt, everyone is corrupt, why should I do good things if others are doing bad things and are enjoying so he will suggest others to become bad, whereas a person having good, positive and godly thoughts will always see positive in things around him. No matter how much he has suffered, got hurt in life he continuously makes good efforts, good judgements & never gives up. God sees our determination towards goodness. God gets happy when we believe in him and do good deeds inspite of suffering. Getting what we want can be achieved by hardwork, planning and honesty but getting what God wants can be acheived only when we obey God.
God is our maker, he knows what is our purpose in life. Creation cannot know its purpose without its creator similarly, we cannot know our purpose without knowing our creator. Only our creator knows why he has created us and he directs us when we surrender ourselves to him. Thus by being in fellowship with God we know what is our purpose. Once we know our purpose we can be at peace and once we are at peace we achieve true happiness. Without peace, true happiness cannot be attained.
When we are children we want to grow up quickly but when we grow up we want to become children again. We live the whole life as if we have never lived. Life is a  gift of God because he created us and loves us very much. Making everyone happy, sharing their grief, giving not only just to needy but to everyone when we can give him/her, caring for not only our dear ones but to anyone for God and making him happy is what is going to give us everlasting Happiness. We don't have to run after happiness, instead we have to follow what God wants us then automatically happiness will follow us!
So when God will ask us I have given you the whole life - The Earth, the environment, food, money, parents, body, heart, lungs, job etc what have you done with it and have given me?  The answer of this question is the way of having  happy life, a life of purpose because you know that everything created by God is for purpose.
Take care friend, unite with God, read his word and surrender to him in prayer with humble heart. He will see your heart and will come and uplift you in his hands. When God is with us everything is taken care of. Jesus said seek first the kingdom of God and rest all will be done for you. So we just have to continually seek kingdom of God. Rest all is taken care by God just as he has taken care of us till now by providing us life, earth, water, oxygen, food, body, finances, parents, home etc.
God Bless you! :-)
