True Happiness

Can money, fame or success make you happy? I am sure the answer is yes. But unfortunately this kind of happiness won't last long, because you can never feel contented, as the evil in your heart can never be satisfied, because evil keeps growing.

Man's sufferings are caused by the evil in his heart; greed, pride, jealousy, lust, etc. Naturally, he finds happiness only by achieving material gains, as money heals his pains caused by his evil heart. But this happiness is only temporary, because the evil in his heart continues to grow, which makes him greedier and hence he will never find long-lasting happiness in his life. In another words, man suffers for his own evil.

To find true happiness, we need to reduce (if not eliminate) the evil inside us. Once we have accepted Jesus as our savior, we invite the Holy Spirit to live in our heart and fill our heart with love. Loving God is the exact opposite of evil. The more we love God, the less evil we are, and the happier we will be. Imagine a heart with no evil but love, how beautiful it is. Love itself is so sweet, and we should spread our love to all the people around us. Let us not only love God, but also love all the people around us, that would be the most beautiful and happiest life we can have. Why say life is a suffering, which in fact can be beautiful and enjoying.

Jesus had taught us the secret of true happiness with the verses below;

Mark 12:30 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. 31 The second is like this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these.
