I don't know to many people that desire to never be happy. Happiness is
something most people are okay with being on a consistent basis.
However, if I asked 20 people what true happiness is or to
describe happiness, I would probably get 20 different answers.
So I decided to Google the word "HAPPINESS"
Dictionary.com says...
1. the quality or state of being happy.
2 good fortune; pleasure; contentment; joy.
Wikipedia.com describes happiness as..."a mental or emotional state of
well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from
contentment to intense joy."
Sounds boring doesn't it? Well, how
about this? "HAPPINESS is growth." I've found that to be true in my
life. When I'm growing in my relationship with God and being obedient to
Him, that is when I've been most content. And that's a good thing to
ask God to do for others in prayer. Paul also prayed that the people
would keep "growing in the knowledge of God" (Col. 1:10). He knew that
everything in life hinged on the health of our relationship with our
creator. And he had also learned a valuable lesson as a result of growth
in his own relationship with God: CONTENTMENT (Phil. 4:11-12).
