Happiness

Where do we find happiness? We look for acknowledgement/recognition from others, success in life and overall happiness according to the world’s standards instead of Heavenly Father Yahuah’s standards.

That is what causes most unhappiness. We focus on people pleasing, especially our friends, co-workers and our boss. We measure our success or failure against others or by the world’s definition. We look to our friends and even our spouse to fulfill voids in our life or to “make” us happy. Then, we are kept so busy by the world system, we don’t have to “feel” unhappy nor do we have time to think about it.

All Yahuah (Heavenly Father) wants is to be our Father; He wants a family that He can love and will love Him back. You love Him and please Him by doing His will, following His commandments, spending time with Him.

We please Him when we focus on Him and what He did for us through His Son. We please Him when we use the tools He gave us (His Word, His Spirit) to be truly, internally joyful in all circumstances!

When we immerse ourselves in His Word, utter and praise His Name, utter His Word throughout the day, and witness to others using His Word as the Spirit leads, we will be filled with joy and be pleasing to Him…and that is His measure of success.

The only Person that can fill any void in our life is Him and His Word!

“This Book of the Law (Torah) shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success” - Joshua 1:8.

“…Yahusha Messiah stood and cried out, ‘If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him would receive;…” John 7:37-39.

Psalm 19:14 let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing before You, O Yahuah, my rock and my redeemer.

1 Chronicles 28:9 “As for you, my son Solomon, know the Elohim of your father, and serve Him with a perfect heart and with a pleasing life, for Yahuah searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you do seek Him, He is found by you; but if you forsake Him, He rejects you forever.

Seek only Him and please Him! That is where true happiness is found!
