MY NOTES

  • ‭Psalm‬ ‭16:11‬ ‭ESV‬
    [11] You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

  • ‭John‬ ‭16:24‬ ‭NIV‬
    [24] Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

  • ‭John‬ ‭16:24‬ ‭CEV‬
    [24] You have not asked for anything in this way before, but now you must ask in my name. Then it will be given to you, so you will be completely happy.

  • ‭John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭TPT‬
    [10] A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow!

Happiness is Commanded

MY NOTES

  • ‭Psalms‬ ‭97:12‬ ‭TPT‬
    [12] So be glad and continue to give him thanks,for God’s holiness is seen in everything he does.

  • ‭Psalms‬ ‭98:4‬ ‭CEB‬
    [4] Shout triumphantly to the LORD, all the earth!Be happy!Rejoice out loud!Sing your praises!

  • ‭Joel‬ ‭2:21‬ ‭NCV‬
    [21] Land, don’t be afraid;be happy and full of joy,because the Lord has done a wonderful thing.

  • ‭Philippians‬ ‭2:18‬ ‭NCV‬
    [18] You also should be happy and full of joy with me.

  • ‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭5:16‭-‬18‬ ‭NKJV‬
    [16] Rejoice always, [17] pray without ceasing, [18] in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Happiness is Chosen

MY NOTES

Happiness is Connecting

  • ‭Psalms‬ ‭40:16‬ ‭NET‬
    [16] May all those who seek you be happy and rejoice in you!May those who love to experience your deliverance say continually,“May the Lord be praised!”

  • ‭Hebrews‬ ‭6:11‭-‬12‬ ‭NLT‬
    [11] Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true. [12] Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance.

“When we seek holiness at the expense of happiness or happiness at the expense of holiness, we lose both the joy of being holy, and the happiness birthed by obedience.” - Alcorn

  • ‭Isaiah‬ ‭51:11‬ ‭NCV‬
    [11] The people the Lord has freed will returnand enter Jerusalem with joy.Their happiness will last forever.They will have joy and gladness,and all sadness and sorrow will be gone far away.

“While other worldviews lead us to sit in the midst of our life’s joys foreseeing the coming sorrows, Christianity empowers people to sit in the midst of this world’s sorrows, tasting the coming joy” - Timothy Keller
