Need Help? How to Find True Happiness

I Need Help! How Can I Find True Happiness?

One thing that pretty much every person wants in life is happiness. However the fleeting happiness that this world offers comes and goes, depending on your circumstances. The happiness this world offers just will not do it. 

According to the Bible, if we seek to know God and discover His plan for our life, then we will find the happiness that has eluded us for so long. Not from seeking it, but from seeking Him! 

The Bible says, “Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.” 

Psalm 144:15

Find Peace & Happiness Now

I’m depressed. I can’t get excited about the holidays.

The malls are packed, the neighborhoods lit up, and your friends are making holiday plans. You want to join them, but you can’t snap out of it. Tinsel and trinkets just don’t fill the void.

But God says you are never alone. He cares about you. He knows your name and understands what you’re going through. He can bear your heartache and longs to walk beside you if you’ll have Him. He’s your friend, your confidant and a great listener.

Don’t let Christmas slip by feeling lonely and discouraged. Replace the weight of depression with the freeing hope that only God can offer.

What’s the meaning of Christmas?

There’s more to Christmas than candy canes, great bargains and meeting Santa. Christmas celebrates Christ’s birth.

God loved us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to be born on earth and die on a cross. His sacrifice paid for our sins so that whoever believes in Him can have eternal life. The gifts we give at Christmas remind us of God’s gift and express our own love.

It’s OK to get excited about parties and new toys, but don’t lose the real meaning in all the frenzy. Without Christ, there would be no Christmas. Knowing Him can fulfill your life all year long.

Question: "What is the true meaning of Christmas?"

Answer: The true meaning of Christmas is love. John 3:16-17 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." The true meaning of Christmas is the celebration of this incredible act of love.

The real Christmas story is the story of God's becoming a human being in the Person of Jesus Christ. Why did God do such a thing? Because He loves us! Why was Christmas necessary? Because we needed a Savior! Why does God love us so much? Because He is love itself (1 John 4:8). Why do we celebrate Christmas each year? Out of gratitude for what God did for us, we remember His birth by giving each other gifts, worshipping Him, and being especially conscious of the poor and less fortunate.

The true meaning of Christmas is love. God loved His own and provided a way—the only Way—for us to spend eternity with Him. He gave His only Son to take our punishment for our sins. He paid the price in full, and we are free from condemnation when we accept that free gift of love. "But God demonstrated His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).

I get so stressed at Christmas.

You’re bombarded with words like “joy,” “merry” and “bright.” But last-minute shopping and holiday preparations are more of a hassle than a delight.

God says to call on Him, to cast your worries on Him and He will give you rest. How? He provided His Son, Jesus Christ, so that we can have a direct, personal relationship with Him. When we put Christ at the center of our lives, we can trust Him to help us through any trial that comes along.

This Christmas, don’t let your burdens get the best of you. Learn more about how you can cut through the chaos and find peace with God.
