You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11 ESV
Happy New YEAR!!!!!!!!
We’ve been talking the last few times together about happiness.
It is something that everyone wants.
In America we even have in the United States Declaration of Independence that happiness is an “unalienable right”.
It states: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
In Chinese, they have a character that translates as “double happiness”. It can also be translated as “double happy” or “double joy”. This symbol is a Chinese ornamental design commonly used as a decoration. You will see it on Chinese lanterns, and on greeting cards.
The truth is, God created you, and wants to you to be happy.
But you will only be truly happy if you know your Creator. Jesus came so that we might be reconciled to God. He came so we could have a relationship with Him. He knows that will bring us joy and happiness.
God would like to double your happiness, as you spend your time with Him. Worship and prayer are key. Praise, rejoicing and thanksgiving are key.
Find time to experience the “fullness of joy” today that can only be found with God.
God can give you double happiness this year! Let’s make 2015 the best year ever!
