The world now is uncertain and ignorant in many aspects of life. Technology has grown but love and respect to fellow human beings are diminishing without reasons. Pride, love for money and hatred towards others is growing day by day. No one knows to forgive, no one likes to say 'sorry', This type of lifestyle leads such people to spiritual blindness disabling them to visualize true happiness. They cannot realize or understand that even if they be happy with worldly gains and pleasures, they are going to eternal damnation. We need to be knowledgeable about the eternal will of God for each one of us. It is to live a life (on earth) filled with love towards God and fellow human beings and to spend eternity with Him in heaven. We must have the power to distinguish between good and bad, to examine our happiness whether it is from God or evil.
But how are we going to do it? Happiness is not only a state of mind. Outward happenings must not have any authority over what we feel inside. People who trust in God are happy even during life's calamities. They do not know to complain, are ever unwilling to criticize the existence of The Truth, and they just know how to pour out their sorrows unto God and gain His happiness. Friend, is the happiness that you are experiencing based on God's love rather than in what is going on in your life? If your answer is no, it is time to understand that God still loves you and He wants you to be happy truly.
We feel excited when we get a loving surprise from a dear friend and become very glad. We are happy when others praise us because of our success and good deeds towards others. But how happy will we be when there is no one to notice us? How happy will we be when our friends misunderstand our good actions? A man who knows how to depend on God in not concerned over what is going around, but knows that the true source of true happiness is not anything else in heaven or in the universe, but the source is God Himself.
Friend, do you now know the formula to examine your happiness and to distinguish between the duplicate and original happiness? You just need to observe whether the means of your happiness are scripture-based or situation-based. If you are happy to forgive your enemies, happy in the Lord during troubles, happy to be patient with angry people, then you are on the good point of happiness. If you are happy when you love all alike irrespective of relation or position, when you respect your elders in times they punish or scold you, when you give respect to God's Word during perils and are happy to go through the test of faith and holiness to come out as pure gold not compromising with the comforts of the world then you are truly happy. The knowledge we gained thus far from this article is able to make us examine our happiness.
Second thing is to visualize our happiness. We must know the greatness of happiness placed in our hearts by God. We must understand its full nature to know its greatness over worldly happiness. But how are we going to do it? Any good thing is enjoyed only when it is utilized for the purpose behind its existence. The purpose behind the existence of happiness is to get spread towards others through people who are enjoying it already. We cannot maintain the experience of divine happiness if we are stubborn in matters of sharing our happiness with others by actions of love and help. Thus, preserving our happiness enables us to visualize its importance. The next method is to focus on God's promises i.e. His Word. When we visualize our happiness on the basis of God's Word, we get more clear understanding about the greatness of finding happiness and solace under the power of God's authority and can also visualize our happiness found in Him..
