Happiness is the Lord!!

There is no secret that most of mankind goal is to be happy.. When we talked about happiness, some relate it to contentment.. One could be happy if he satisfies with his current condition.. However, what we see now, people are not satisfied with what they are.. They always expect to be better than today.. Rich people want to get richer, powerful people want to get more power and so on..

In contrast, when we see village people, some of them satisfy with their condition although they are not rich.. They live a simple life.. What makes a man happy? According to Westminster Confession of Faith, the ultimate happiness of man if he can enjoy the source of happiness.. Man gains ultimate happiness by enjoying the ultimate being.. *Read chapter 1 Westminster Confession of Faith*

If we satisfy with our money and power, don't forget they can be gone.. They are temporary.. How if we satisfy with God, the source of wealth, power, happiness, etc? We can't find any reason for not to be happy.. Why men grumble? Why men self pity themselves? I think the answer because they are not satisfied with themselves.. Why they are not satisfied with their condition? It is because they are not satisfied with God who gives the condition or lets something happen to them..

Every man problem is a spiritual problem.. This sentence needs to be clarified further, but I am standing on this point.. Whatever human problem is actually because they are not content with God.. Atheist adalah orang yang paling nggak content with God (I can't translate this >.<).. How is the practice to be content with God? Start with thanksgiving for what He has given to you.. A writer said even though God did not give anything (cloth, money, intelligence,etc.) to you, it doesn't make Him a 'bad God'.. He's still good for us since He has sacrificed His own Son.. That sacrifice cannot be compared by others grace.. If God gives us love, money, power, intelligence, that's a bonus.. Actually we are not deserved.. So, learn to be thankful..
