The majority of people share a common objective in life: they want to be happy. Everyone wants to be happy in their relationships, at work, and in life in general. However, difficulties might sometimes stand in the way and prevent you from attaining the happiness that you so desperately desire. You can try to locate joy in unconventional places, forgetting that true happiness can only be found in one person: God. You’ll be able to open your heart to the joy that God brings into your life through His presence and benefits if you read these Bible verses about happiness.
1. Have a good heart
“To the person who pleases Him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner, he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.” – Ecclesiastes 2:26
2. Be content
“Not that I speak regarding need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:11-13
3. Consider difficulties as an opportunity to prove yourself
“Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.” – James 1:1-4
4. Being generous
“Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
5. Don’t compare yourself
“For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise” (II Corinthians 10:12).
