How to Reach at Happiness

Returning to the  central theme of  the whole world: happiness. Contrary to popular opinion, happiness is not something external. Money, career, family, friends don't make you happy. Happiness is a gift from God received by people with pure heart: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 5, 8). First, they see God in creation, they are beginning to feel joy, then, some see Him directly.

We blame several factors because we don't feel happy, loved. Let's not forget that we can simply ask God the true happiness and He will give us. Here and in eternity. I mean always. Because this was the purpose to create people, to enjoy everything with God, the source of happiness.
Basically, we're happy where we are with God. And God can not be where it is a sin. So the first step to happiness would be leaving sins, regularly confessions of our sins, a program of prayer and to participate each Sunday at the Holy Liturgy. After death, people will regret the time lost in the passions and sins! Let us wake up NOW!

  2. This is such a wonderfully true article, Florina. Tabitha and I have found that happiness is God-given and priceless! We don't have much materially but our lives are filled with happiness. Living as we do, in a quiet little valley in northern Georgia,we are content with each day as it comes to us. By the Grace of God, we live a stress-free life, almost as if we had our own little piece of Heaven on Earth!
