Does God want you to be happy (In THIS life)?

[Jesus_is_LORD]

Thank you Brother @Jesus_is_LORD

Perhaps if we look at 'what is the opposite of happy?' , we might get a little closer? What do you think of that question to be asked, Brother?

Thanks again for the reply.

A few brothers have mentioned that happiness is different for everyone, but is that relevant for the discussion? I'm thinking out loud.
So one may be happy playing video games, another happy praying, another happy eating food, another happy reading a book;
regardless of what is causing the feeling of happiness, they are all happy.

So my focus in the OP is less about what is causing us to be happy but the fact that such an emotion/state of being is present. I don't think the emotion can be separated from the state of being totally (as God created us to have feelings) (God gets Joyful and Jesus also wept).
So for example, many things may cause someone to be fearful, some it could be dogs, others are afraid of the dark, other are afraid
to be embarrassed, but regardless of what is bringing about the emotion they are all having the same emotion of fear, although it could be rooted in different places (spirit, flesh, etc) and last for a different duration per person.

So with that said, the answer to your question about the opposite of happiness would be sadness, depression, hopelessness.

I would say happy is the broad umbrella of many positive feelings with other words having a greater emphasis.
For example under the umbrella of happy is the word excited, this word emphasizes one's high energy within that
state of being happy. Joyful is also under the umbrella of happy and joyful emphasizes a celebratory attitude, perhaps.

Now is sadness is the opposite of happy, I would say sadness would be the bigger umbrella with other words underneath that
which would put greater emphasis in other areas. So lonely would emphasize one's isolation being the root for the sadness.
Ashamed would emphasize ones embarrassment as the center of the sadness. And depression emphasizes ones lack of
motivation to be active or productive under the sadness umbrella.

It seems like when we are the opposite of happy, something is wrong (off, not what it should be). I say this because think about it. In heaven no one will every be sad,
we are told that God will wipe away every tear. So if sadness has no place in heaven, then it is not what we were made for. But
because this world is full of sin, we will experience those other feelings which we were not made to experience.

Because death is in the world people die and we experience grief. Because people are evil and intent to do us harm we experience fear
that we may be robbed. Because we are out of alignment with God and separated from His perfect WILL, we experience anxiety because we don't know the future. Etc, etc, etc. So to better help you with understanding happiness, I think it is a state that we were originally created to experience in God's presence perpetually, but in THIS world, sin leads us to experience lots of other feelings.

However God still uses them for God's glory and our good. The feeling of guilt can lead one to repentance, the need for patience shown by being frustrated can lead us to be more empathetic and patient to others having experienced their suffering as well. -- So what are your thoughts on that?

 

[Christ4Ever]

more strange happiness for me! What is this new word....? conniption

perhaps a related word might be fitting...? captiousness

Dear Brother,
Captiousness instead of Conniption?

I surely didn't want to be accusatory to what he was communicating to me, but rather I wanted to hopefully communicate that it was not my intent to put him in a negative emotional state because of something I alluded to.

I hope that Brother @GodB4Us sees in your actions the love you have for all, for I surely do!
Thank-you for watching out for us both.

With the Love of Christ Jesus.

So what are your thoughts on that?

Greetings Brother,

I come back to the way of the world v the regenerated through Christ Jesus.

For example, a young lad i used to know got very happy doing all manner of naughty sorts of things, including engaging in interaction with others that was far from righteous. So, my question of your question, is, Does God want one to be happy while doing unrighteousness?

I hear what you ask generally about 'what happiness is', meaning a state or place of "happy is the broad umbrella of many positive feelings" and does God want us to be happy.
But do you see my point?

Going back to the question about what is opposite to happy, perhaps we can see better that God certainly does not want those things for us that you suggested are opposites to happy -

sadness, depression, hopelessness.

We know that the Lord has the 'remedy' to our 'malady' and that it is through faith, by grace; we can come to Him Who is the source of what we might call 'happy and/or happiness' . Therein is the problem, however. What we think happy is and what God's equivalent is (or His thoughts of it).
Happy is used so broadly with no real, agreed upon definition.

For instance, it was originally more a 'gladness that things happened the way they did', hence happen and happy. Or someone might be counted a happy fellow if something happened in his favour.

That raises a need for understanding God's righteousness and what He would have us do, both in heart and mind and in action/reaction.

For example, one (or lots) might be happy when their enemy comes a cropper and ends up face first in a pile of elephant dung BUT we see that God would prefer if we did not rejoice in such things. I confess there have been plenty of times when i have thought that it would be so good and make me happy to see some folk get the raw end of the stick.. or at times when I might justify castrating someone with no particular care or tools, thinking it would give me happiness due to what they had done... a sort of revenge and payback... and because of His great mercy and patience, longsuffering and grace, we hear the Lord telling us, "vengeance in Mine, saith the LORD.... render not evil for evil, but overcome evil with good" and I know that He reminds His children that as we would have done (by Him) to us, so we ought want for others, remembering that while we were yet enemies and sinners, God sent His Son for us, Who gave Himself that we might receive the fullness of Life, eternal.
So, in that, we see that 'happiness' is not all it is cut out to be.

Is there perpetual happiness?

Usually, happiness is fleeting. depending upon circumstance, which brings us back to it's origin

If we forget the origin of the word, 'happy' and use it as so often it is used, then we might say that God wants us to be under His 'umbrella of happiness', in this life.... to strengthen us.

I want you to be happy... but with a special happiness, that comes with knowing God's care and love for you in what He has 'blessed' you with.


Bless you ....><>

So going back to the original question.
I have discovered that the answer is YES.
God does want us to be happy and happy in this life as well.

But because we are defiled by sin, the things that truly will give us blessedness(happy) seem off to us.
Things like serving others, and putting others before ourselves, and submitting; all are things which are
a result of God's loving presence in us. But because of our sinful nature it doesn't seem happy to us.

Kinda like an unhealthy person and a healthy person, the unhealthy person may be happy eating junk food,
and not like the vegetarian diet of the healthy person. But that is because the unhealthy person has changed
their taste-buds and cravings due to their unhealthy lifestyle.

So the nature of if something is happy or not to us depends on our state of being.
A godly person will find that things of God to bring happiness and the opposite is true.

So I believe God does want us to be happy and the more we are like God, the more we will be happy if we walk
in the path God has for us. Like the old hymn, Trust and Obey for theirs no other way, to be happy in Jesus but to Trust and Obey.

Thanks for the contribution to the post everyone.

Trust and Obey - Lyrics​

Don Moen

"When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still
And with all who will trust and obey

Trust and obey, for there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey

Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies
But His smile quickly drives it away
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear
Can abide while we trust and obey

Oh, Trust and obey, for there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey

Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet
Or we'll walk by His side in the way
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go
Never fear, only trust and obey

Trust and obey, for there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey
Oh, Trust and obey, for there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey

And 'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His Word
Just to rest upon His promise
Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord"

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more

Lord oh, for grace to trust You more"

The answer is easy.
The steps to get there and ability to get to those steps to somewhat goal of "happy" isn't easy.
IMO, when there is true mindset change as a result of taking God into one's life it is an essential step.
It's easy for us to sin. It's easy to "enjoy" this world and many things in it we shouldn't. It's easy to "make our own way" but the results are always short-term and never last long. There'll always a need for more.

Question, does God want you to be happy?

How one answers this question also relates to their doctrine or theology on other matters.

Yes. A resounding, affirmative yes. The eight blessings Jesus opened the sermon on the mount with can also be translated into happiness. However, in God’s upside down counterintuitive kingdom, happiness does NOT equal material wealth. In most cases, for most of us, less is more. If you desire God over everything else, then you’ll be happy whether you’re rich or poor, healthy or sick, single or married. Happiness is not the goal, but added bonus. “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, all of these will be added onto you.”

 

[Jonathan_Gale]

A few brothers have mentioned that happiness is different for everyone, but is that relevant for the discussion? I'm thinking out loud.
So one may be happy playing video games, another happy praying, another happy eating food, another happy reading a book;
regardless of what is causing the feeling of happiness, they are all happy.

I gotta say that you've probably mixed up gratification, relief, pleasure, contentment with happiness. There're subtle differences. True happiness lasts forever regardless of the situation you're in, as I said in the previous post, while others are just feelings for a fleeting moment, they're just a surge of hormones.

I know many do not know about The Great sufferings of those men and women whom GOD used, since time began, and what Great Depression all have Been Through as Revealed by “HOLY Scripture” and this knowledge has been treated very lightly by leaders of The Various faith. But I thank “GOD” he place The “BIOGRAPHIES”before my face when I didn’t know any better! It had to be “GOD” because there was no one to lead me into those paths of studies,

Of Such men and what they had to endure. If anyone wants to be a messenger of GOD they Have To Be A “FOOL”! I came to that conclusion after reading my whole Bible as a whole and reading about, “Polycarp”, Anthannius, Huss, Knox, Luther, Calvin, Edwards, Whitefield, Spurgeon, COLET, Brainerd, Paul, Stephen, James, Banabas, Nathaniel and the List goes on!

I
No sir, I don’t want no part of being a pastor, minister, teacher, was my thoughts years ago While others were soaking up that Prosperity stuff, “PTL” network, And the Rekindling The AZUSA moment
In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s., Oral Roberts, Bob Jones University, Word of Faith moment, John Hagen, John Hagin, and all the rest of The Prosperity movement, and GOD want you to Be Happen and Rich!

I Know, I told my wife something is Wrong, That you mean to tell me, the only kids can get a “Christian Education” who parents can afford to pay $10,000 a year per kid!

No I am not going for For it!
All these churches have gotten big because they have robbed these poor people from the neighborhood in tithes and offering,
They built brand new churches with a school and move out the neighborhood and charging $10,000 a year per child for kindergarten!

I grew HORNS on The Top of My Head! breathing Fire!

And Blowing it Every where I turn my head!

And I Told them, “GOD” is Going to Tear it Down! All you workers of “ iniquities“!

The only child can get a Christian education is the parents of Those who can afford $10,000 a year per child!

And the average poor family got at least, 3-5 kids and the women is single! You Cannot get a Grant, or loan!

I told my wife I ain’t paying no more!
Let them learn about God at home! And Then Take “The Gospel According to Jesus Christ” to the Public school they attend! And Let GOD take care of them in doing so! “JESUS GREW UP IN “ Nazareth”!

Oh yes Christianity do not like me!

I told my kids the public cannot stop you from praying!

Stop believing those lies the church and the systems!

I Taught you like Jesus say! “WHEN YOU PRAY” you go into your closet! No body got to hearor see you praying!

This is not The Time of Daniel and The Three Hebrew Boys!

GOD gave you a Mind, And Praying in Secret He Will reward you! And Jesus said Those Words!!

Stop believing those Lies, church people want you to live in rebellion to your GOD! And Stand before people to be seen and heard!

You Pray in Private let them pray in public and that is there only reward!


I know how to read GOD’s Word! And I understand it, because I prayed 1000’s of private prayers for him to teach me how to read it and understand it every time I picked up the book! Over 40 years everytime I pick it up, sometime 5-6 times a day, same prayer short and sweet! My reading prayer. Not my day prayer not my noon prayer not my night time prayer not my walking prayer my reading prayer!

Like I have said: “I am not that smart” I got to rely upon “GOD” to feed me my words to speak in all occasions! If I slip and stumble I repent Quick! And me and “THE PARAKLETOS” decides upon that.

Standing in public praying at prayer breakfast, at ceremonies is in total Disobedience to The New Testament Teachings to “The Gospel According To What JESUS has said!

Whether we believe it or not.

“And When you pray”

Never mind how johnny or Suzy prayed or Rev. Carl prayed, “When you pray”


Just because a religious person does something, does not mean that is the way Jesus want you to do it! No matter how religious or holy it may seem.

Dear Brother,
Saul truly speaks a cautionary tale for those who would listen.

Sad for Aaron was that he wasn't even allowed to mourn for them in public. He had to keep it private.

More cautionary tales in the Bible for those who would listen.

I truly see no good in me but Jesus brother!

I'm just hoping to be allowed to do some janitorial duties up in Heaven!

With the Love of Christ Jesus.

[Admon Mikha'el]

Question, does God want you to be happy?

How one answers this question also relates to their doctrine or theology on other matters.

Some people say God does not want you to be happy, God wants us to share in his suffering and submit and humble ourselves,
denying the self of all pleasures.

Others says, God wants me to be happy and will bless me with those things, relationships, a job, etc, so that I can be happy because
God loves me.

I'm somewhat in the middle but leaning very very slightly towards the first answer.

My thoughts on the question of if God wants us happy (in THIS life) (obviously we will be happy in heaven) is that our happiness
is not God's primary concern, but it may be secondary.

Was Job happy when the devil was striking him with illness?
Was Paul happy when the thorn in his flesh was attacking him?
Was Jesus happy when he was being crucified on the cross?
Was Mary happy when her brother Lazarus was dead, a death that Jesus wanted due to delaying his coming?

When I look at the story of Job and his suffering and many other stories, my answer to this question is, God's primary concern
is for God to be glorified in our lives. I believe God wants us to be content and satisfied in Him, and for us to grow closer to God
and learning more about who God is (a protector, a healer, a deliver, a way-maker) though our circumstances, but I do not believe
that our happiness (in this world) is God's primary objective. I believe that Joy is a fruit of the spirit and God wants us grounded in
Him, and He wants us to have that peace that passes all understanding, but if God can be glorified in Job's life by Job remaining
faithful and not cursing God, at the expense of Job being "happy" in the moment due to pain and suffering,
God will allow those things to happen because God's primary concern in my opinion is (#1) God's Glory (# 2) for our good.

How do you answer this question? @PloughBoy , @Christ4Ever , @Andyindauk , @complete , @MedicBravo , @GodB4Us , @Godbehonored @Br. Bear
All may answer.

Of course God wants us to be happy in this life...Are we not HIS children? Yes there is sickness, poverty, and all manner of bad stuff in this world that like to attack us but God has provided for ALL of that. If you will only avail yourself of His provision.....We are to be the head not the tail...This world does not wag us...

May I say this to all the unlearned, a denomination does not exist or become a form of Religion base upon one page. Just like so many religious people Think The “GOD” of The Bible is know By One sentence or 1 page of A Bible Translation and that is it, or all it takes to determine the essence of “GOD” and The Other “3,000” plus pages is not needed. So they disregard the other pages as not necessary. To Know systematically Homiletically as it is arranged.

And I-will say it again, and I am not a teacher of the class concerning “Why So Many Versions” or I am not a teacher on The Class pertaining to “Word of Faith Terminology”!

But I do know what I am Talking about, I got 40 plus years of Studying “Religious Artifacts”. My mission was to inform myself that I might not be Deceived. And not to teach others.

So each man to his own beliefs, you do not have to believe nothing I say, and I do not care what you believe today tomorrow or on Judgment day.

“Let each man speak the Truth to one another”

“My uncle use to tell me when I was kid”

“Every Tub is got to sit own his own bottom”. And he never had to explain to me what it meant, even as a child, I got it!

My own children, from the time they where small, I always told Them; “On judgment Day I am not going to worry about you, I am covering my own behind”

And you will not be worry me! On your judgment Day!

You should see there little faces: “PriceLess”!

Now since they are grown, and the church and all kinds of Christian’s and The world, have wash The Fear of “The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY” from their minds, Health and Soul!

And they and their mother “Loves Word of Faith and Universalism terminology”!

I don't know whether or not you speak the words of the Holy Spirit (PNEUMA not pneumatic) or not...Sounds more like human wisdom to me. You did though, You used a lot of words and said little. You can believe what you like though....Not my affair.
