Happiness

Matthew 5:3-12

The word “Beatitude” means supreme blessedness. Just that alone makes me happy. But knowing whatever circumstances are Jesus blesses us.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” When we mourn, Jesus tells us that we will be comforted. The meek will inherit the earth. Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled. If we are merciful, we shall receive mercy. If we are pure in heart, we will see God. Happiness abounds! If we are peacemakers, we will be called sons of God. How can we not be happy, knowing these words that Jesus spoke on the Sermon on the Mount. He even went on to say that if we are reviled and persecuted and people say false things against us for His sake, we are still blessed and should be glad because we will receive our reward in heaven.

Happiness creates positive thoughts, and positive thoughts create positive behavior. Let us rejoice and put on a happy face. Let others see Jesus in us.

Please read the scriptures listed, study them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.
