Our happiness is usually dependant on happenings.

Our happiness cannot have its main foundation in happenings. Our true happiness and strength can only be found  in the joy of the Lord, the promises of God and the more abundant life which we are offered, shown and taught, NOT by any religion, BUT by Jesus, the King of kings, Lord of lords and the Super Star and Greatest Freedom Fighter of History

The Happiest and most joyful  people on earth are those who have come to their senses and have, like the prodical son, decided:
- to leave the 'pigsty' (the broken relationships, the feuds in our families and work places,  poverty, all forms of abuse, crime, corruption, pollution etc)
- to repent of their sin (= not trusting God & ignoring His guidelines for joy & happiness)
- to return to their Father Who is the Father of the richest royal family in the universe
- to be born again, to be baptised in water and the Holy Spirit and to take communion after a time of reflection on a regular basis in remebrance that Jesus has won the main and defining battle of the ongoing war agains Satan the universal enemy of all people including is
- to take hold of their birthright/inheritance, which includes joy, and to live it!
- to allow Him to work IN and THROUGH our minds. hearts and hands to clean up the strife, mess and stress in which we find ourselves!
- to join hands across political, economical, religious and denominational barriers to fight the good fight of faith (i.e. trusting & obeying God) and making a difference in our families,work places and communities.

The Happiest and most joyful people on earth have no doubt whatsoever:
1. that God has a Heaven on Planet Earth Dream for them personally and for the World at large.
2. that they are the Target of God's love, forgiveness, blessings and His very life of "more abundantly" .
3. that, because they are trusting and obeying HIm, they can look forward to God's blessings and rewards now here on earth and especially later when Jesus will come physically to reign on earth for a 1000 years  They also know that they will eventually receive their ultimate eternal rewards in heaven.
4. that they are born again, can hear the word of the Lord speaking to them personally and are doing their utmost to obey Him not for their salvation but out of gratitude for their salvation and out of appreciation for their regenerated life in Christ, the hope of glory.
5.  that JOY in the Lord is the foundation of their happiness and strength. Even if they go through trials and persecutions they are still the happiest people on earth. Scriptural examples we have are e.g.  Stephan when he was stoned, Paul and Silas when they were chained in jail. The happiest and most joyful people  consider it pure joy when they face all trials and tribulations,
6. that the main battle of the war against evil was won more than 2000 years ago. The victory in the defining battle over Satan, the enemy of all people and all nations, has already been achieved by Jesus Christ the Super Star of history and the Greatest Freedom Fighter the world has ever seen and will ever see. He did not fight the good fight and win the main battle of the war against Satan with weapons of war or for the sake of any religious, denominational, political, financial or any other organisation. Jesus fought with trust in His Father in heaven and with unselfish love and forgiveness for you and for every person from across all class, cultural, religious, political and financial barriers. It is time to celebrate His victory and to allow Him and the Holy Spirit to work IN and THROUGH us to do the mop-up operations and finish the war!
7. that a personal relationship with a living, loving and almighty God through Jesus and the help of the Holy Spirit, and not any religion or denomination is, THE KEY to true happiness and joy.

Yes, HAPPY people who have a HOPE of Heaven On Planet Earth and of eventually spending eternity in heaven do not focus on themselves.
Joyful, happy, and hopeful people get caught up in the needs of their spouses, children, extended family, friends, colleagues at work and the people in their community, country and continent.

Joyful, happy people who have hope also have a vision or a mission that is bigger than themselves. Understanding this and being involved helps them to gain a perspective of the bigger picture. This enables them to live with expectancy to see how God’s H.O.P.E. Dream of justice, joy, peace, health, happiness, and prosperity in their family, community, country and continent will eventually unfold and become a reality.

3. "Can you not hear My voice and will you not accept My invitation to return back to Me and to the happy way of life and the life-style I had in mind for you and every man (male and female)?
I desire to see happy, caring, honest, industrious white and blue-collared creators of wealth and jobs who value their families and respect, appreciate and protect the properties, people and projects in their communities, countries and continents ".

4. "When will you willingly and voluntarily decide to return to Me?"

I will show you the path of life;
In My presence is a fullness of joy;
At My right hand are pleasures forevermore. Ps 16:11
