How to Be Happy

Proverbs 16:20 tells us, "Whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he." And Psalms 146:5 indicates that happiness comes to those who find their help and hope in God. It says "Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help." The foundation for happiness is a proper relationship with the Lord. But to fully experience that happiness, we must build on that foundation in a practical way. Here are the 10 Rules for Happier Living:

1. Give something away.

2. Do a kindness.

3. Give thanks always.

4. Work with vim and vigor.

5. Visit the elderly and learn from their experience.

6. Look intently into the face of a baby and marvel.

7. Laugh often - it's life lubricant.

8. Pray to know God's way.

9. Plan as though you will live forever - you will.

10. Live as though today is your last day on earth.

- Richard De Haan

Happiness is to know the Saviour,
Living a life within His favor,
Having a change in my behaviour,
Happiness is the Lord. - Stanphill
