LoveNo one can be truly happy without loving and being loved.God wants us to love Him. Matthew 22:37Philippians 2:3-4 – God wants us to love each other.Ephesians 5:25Titus 2:4Matthew 15:4 – Children, honor parents.I Timothy 5:16I John 5:1; 4:16Romans 12:20We don’t read anything about loving wealth or power.Self respectIf one does not have self respect, one is not fit to live with.Peace of mindIf one is not at peace with himself, he will not be happy.Peace of mind has something to do with a pure conscience (I John 3:20).Without these three things, happiness will elude those who pursue it.Many confuse pleasure and happiness. You can buy pleasure, but you can’t buy happiness.In the Bible, “happy” is associated with either suffering or service – not pleasure.John 13:17 – serviceRomans 14:22 – serviceI Peter 3:14 – suffering (see Acts 5)I Timothy 6:6 – Godliness with contentment is a great gain.
