I wonder what purpose you pursue in this world. Is it a happy life? I wonder how many of us out there in this world have the courage to fight everything to get the happiness that we all desire. I know for sure that all of us present on this planet have to go through different stages of events, but our ultimate goal as Christians is to find and have true happiness. That is also what the loving God expects of us. However, the question is, when can we feel truly happy? Is it when we buy a new item or get a new job? Is it when we get promoted to a higher position at work? The truth is that a new item, a new job or a new position is sometimes just temporary happiness. The reason for this is that we only express our happiness for a short moment, but not for a long one. Or simply that happiness is a state of our mind, a mood when we are happy because we have achieved our desires. Today, you have a great time with the announcement that you have been promoted and you enjoy the happiness and the fun of it all. But tomorrow after you wake up, you have a new position which means you will face many new responsibilities, difficulties and challenges for yourself. You will go through many moments of anxiety and exhaustion. You will go under a lot of stress throughout your work and as a result, you will inevitably have unhappy moments. So, where is the true happiness God wants us to have? It is happiness that is not easy to grasp and can we find it for ourselves? Well, that's right. God has created a life for us that we can explore and enjoy. We completely seek happiness regardless of age or generation because God himself has placed in each of our hearts a desire that is happiness. I believe many of us have wondered about true happiness at some point in our lives. I believe that many of us are constantly striving to find the good things that lead to true happiness. And do you know the true happiness that we humans are still looking for is none other than that of our good God? For eternity, God has always wanted people to be truly happy. And the truth is that only in God can we find that precious happiness. Isaiah 61 verse 10 says, "I delight greatly in the Lord, my soul rejoices in my God, for he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels." As a true Christian, do you rejoice in the gifts of God that he has bestowed upon us? Is your soul rejoicing in God just as the first of Isaiah has mentioned above? I hope you are happy right now, and I hope at this very moment you feel that you are happy and in the loving arms of God. God is the source of all blessings, and we cannot fully appreciate these great blessings he has bestowed upon us. He wants us to have perfect happiness in this life and the next regardless of whether we are sinners or not. Let us think of God's death on the cross. He is both infinitely good and infinitely holy. He had no sin, but out of love for humanity, he died to save us from our sins. He wants us to be happy, and he does not want us to suffer the painful punishments of sin. He wants us to take a firm stand against the devil and bravely fight evil if we fall into such danger. He is the guiding light, the lamp that illuminates our steps. He does not want us to leave the arms of God to pursue sin. Let us always remember that God loves us and is happy to see us choose to live and follow the path that leads to true happiness, because God really cares about us and we can never deny this. Let us continue to think about the presence of God that has brought us happiness and comfort in all of life's events. We all have somewhere we are trying to get to.

Whatever sadness or events that happen to us, God desires that we learn to get through it all with God's support and strength because God never intended for us to suffer. We can completely transform a life of darkness into a life filled with the hopes that God brings. All of our burdens will be taken away by God. All our negativity and discouragement will be dispelled by God. We believe that after bad times we will be able to laugh at life again. We will keep the flame of life's love burning so that we can enjoy the good things in our lives. God has done so many wonderful things for us and we also need to live well with what He has given us. Always keep in mind that we are the happiest people on the planet. Do not look at life from a negative perspective. We are not born to be sad or depressed. We are loved by God, saved by God from our sins, and we receive His joy. So let us give joy a chance to enter our lives. Let the true happiness that is the presence of God in your life spread through everyone. Let us live in union with Him and live intimately in a relationship with Him. We must not allow any factors to affect us or rob us of this happiness. Please connect with God and let His invitation lead us to true happiness. We will always experience true happiness in our life if we always trust in God. Even if we have to go through many difficult trials, Psalms 37 verses 3 through 4 say, "Trust in God and do good, dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture, take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." A happy life or an unhappy life depends on how we interact with God and with the people around us. Today you can choose to be in a bad mood. Tomorrow you can also choose to live in a more depressed and serious mood. But are you happy if you still live that day or that period of time with a negative spirit? Consider and ask yourself that question. Have you met and fulfilled God's good expectations in your life? Your faith in God that true happiness will not grow if you are always in the dark. We are children of God. We have a strong faith in His power and love. And because we have faith in Him, we should not lose hope for true happiness in the face of adversity. Today is a good day with the support of God. And tomorrow will also be a great day with God's help because we live our lives with grace. We all sing praises to God for these noble gifts. We will always receive the gift of joy every day as long as we pay attention to His teachings and live responsibly with our own lives. Finding joy in God leads to positive things. God wants us to be happy. So let us choose to live a good life in order to please God. Each of us should begin to act according to God's instructions. Let us learn to live our lives doing good things in order to receive happiness. Every day, let us spend time talking with God to discover the divine joys of His love. Talk to Him. Connect with Him anywhere, anytime that we can, so that we have the ability to avoid the pitfalls of demons and evil. Every day, let us actively do the best for the people around us. Sometimes we just need to give each other happy smiles. Sometimes we just need to be honest with each other. Always help each other in difficult times or share joys and sorrows with each other if you can. I believe that God will surely be pleased with every good thing we do for others. God will bless all of our meaningful and good activities. And of course, when we put God's word into practice, we will certainly experience joy and happiness in our hearts. Always believe that when we make others happy, we are also happy under God's loving eyes. Amen. [MUSIC] [MUSIC PLAYING]
