Happiness Is The Lord!

Let me ask you. Are you happy? If not, why not? We live in the most wealthy and powerful nation in the world. Does power make one happy? Does wealth make a person happy? Most modern day advertising is directed at making us desire something that we don't currently possess with the reason given "to make us happy". The Bible says in Colossians 2:19, "And ye are complete in him..." The being complete has reference to coming to the fullness of life, and the him is Jesus. Power and wealth and education won't do it for mankind. It is presented to us through Jesus Christ the Savior and Lord of the world. If you have Christ as Savior and Lord you have the fruit of the Spirit developing within. One of the fruit of the Spirit is Joy. That's right Joy. God gives to his children Joy. When we are full of Joy, we are happy and content and complete. Do you know Christ? Are you full of Joy? We cannot be fulfilled through things, power, position, or wealth; but only through Christ Jesus. An old time chorus says, "Happiness is to know the Savior, living a life within his favor, having a change in my behavior, Happiness is the Lord." In summary, Happiness is the Lord.
