In pursuit of happiness, we at times find ourselves aiming at renewed goals, and this process is a never-ending process. In fact, God tells us to be happy more than any other expectations. Just think about that for a moment. Commands such as being “joyful”, “rejoice,” “be of good cheer,” “do not be afraid,” “give thanks,” these are all ways of God telling us to be happy.
