How happy are you? This is definitely and odd question. How do you judge the level of your happiness? Is it the amount of laughs in a day? The amount smiles? Good vibrations (Beach Boys). I think being happy is elusive and something that we shouldn't be chasing as Christians. Pastor Brian Dolleman taught our church (Fairwood Church)that happiness is the sumof happenings that creates joy or sorrow in our lives. However, Joy is Christ working in our hearts which allows us to create an atmosphere of contentment, satisfaction, and peace that passes understanding. This kind of Joy really is only found through Christ.
So instead of pursing happiness, I think we should be pursuing Joy!
