Are you feeling incomplete?feeling that there's something "lacking" even if you have attained your dreams in life?
Try asking yourself- what makes your life lacking?What are the things you need to do to make you feel better?what are the things you prioritize most?what are the things that hindrance your heart?what your heart really desire?what are the wrong doings you have done?what is your purpose of living?
There are seven ways to to consider to achieve the true happiness that you are longing for;
1st. GOD FIRST
In the book of (Matthew 6:33) it say's "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you."
It stated in the book that if you just seek God first,you can get what your heart's desire.God will grant what you are praying for.If you will just prioritize God, you can't feel any lacking instead you can have what you are asking for.
2nd. LOVE ONE ANOTHER
The book of (1 John 4:7) say's "Dear friends , Let us love one another because love comes from God.Everyone who loves has become a child of God and knows God."
We all know that God first love us, Through his blood we are forgiven.That's why God asks to Love one another, love your neighbors and love your enemy and the people around you because if you show love to them it means you love God.Loving is one way which will lead to a true happiness.
3rd. NEVER HATE
(1 John 3:15) "Anyone who hates their brother or sister is a murderer.And you know that no murderer has eternal life"
The book emphasizes that hating someone can never achieve true happiness(eternal life).
4th. GIVE GENEROUSLY
The book of (2 corinthians 9:7) reminds us that "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give.You shouldn't give because you are forced to.God loves a cheerful giver."
If you give generously and whole heartedly you will really feel happiness in yourself.Giving without asking for a payback.It is better to not give than give with murmur.Always remember that there are a lot of ways you can give.And a lot of ways where you can please God.Again!God loves a cheerful giver.
5th. LIVE SIMPLY
In (1 Thessalonians 4:11) stated that "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody."
Living in a simple life with God will really feel you contented and happy because we all know that all the things in this world will always rely in God's provision.In God, you can't feel any lacking instead you can have the happiness which other can't give,which the world can't give.Just like the book of (1 Timothy 6:6-8) which say's "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that."
6th. FORGIVE QUICKLY
The book of (Colossians 3:13) say's "Put up with one another. Forgive one another if you are holding something against someone. Forgive just as the Lord forgive you."
Have you ever felt that feeling when you have misunderstanding with your friend?That feeling that bothers you even in your sleep?That's one reason why you haven't achieve the happiness that you are longing.The true happiness that God wants you to feel.If you know you have still friends that you are not in good terms, go! do not wait the "not good terms" will complicate your friendship.Ask for forgiveness and show your sincerity in forgiving.Just like how God forgive our sins.
7th. BE KIND ALWAYS
(1 Ephesians 4:32) this book stated that "Be kind and tender to one another. Forgive one another , just as God forgave you because of what Christ has done."
God is always reminding us to be kind all the time.Being kind is one way of showing love to others and showing love to others is again loving God.We all know that kind people have many good friends,where in you they can lean on.Through your kindness to them God will lead you to happiness.A true happiness...
In other words, true happiness can be found in Him, the creator of all.He said in (Matthew 11:28) "Come to me , all you are tired and are carrying heavy loads. I will give you rest."In him you can find rest and true happiness.
Good day everyone! I hope these tips will help you achieving the true happiness you are longing for.
Thank you and God bless!
