You Deserve Happiness

Our culture's obsession with personal happiness has created the most depressed and anxious generation in history, revealing a fundamental flaw in pursuing temporary fulfillment. Jesus offers a different path in John 15:9-11, promising complete joy rather than fleeting happiness. True joy is found in an eternal relationship with God, not in temporary things like money, success, or pleasure. The way to lasting joy comes through remaining in God's love by following His commands, which aren't restrictions but the environment where joy flourishes. Unlike happiness that depends on circumstances, Jesus' joy is unshakeable and eternal, rooted in the truth that we are so loved by God that we were worth the cross to Him.
