...The Pursuit of Happiness

We all want to be happy, don’t we? Of course we do. It makes us happy when we’re happy. But we know that happiness, like all feelings, is fleeting. It constantly escapes us. It’s chased away by trials, problems and other emotions. And it’s not always easy to share – often coming at the cost at someone else’s happiness. So what does the Bible have to say about our happiness? It teaches us, through a slightly different word (’blessedness’) that God gives us a deeper state, which is true whether there’s ‘happiness’ or not.
