How to Be Happy

Happiness seems to elude people many times. We face different situations in our lives that we allow to determine if we are happy or not. Most of the time, happiness depends on our circumstances. If things go well, we are happy, if not... In this passage of Scripture, which we call the Sermon on the Mount; Jesus gives us His keys or His creed on how to live this life we have been granted. Jesus teaches we are blessed or happy. What is blessing, then? Scripture show that blessing is anything God gives that makes us fully satisfied in Him. Anything that draws us closer to Jesus. Anything that helps us relinquish the temporal and hold on more tightly to the eternal. And often it is the struggles and trials, the aching disappointments and the unfulfilled longings that best enable us to do that.
