How does the Christian find true, lasting happiness? Happiness, it seems, tends to be regarded as an emotion or state of being that depends on life's circumstances. However, if this is the case, then it seems that happiness that abides is not something that really exists. Our life circumstances are constantly changing. The ebbs and flows of life bring with it times of plenty, and times of want, times of peace, and times of chaos. However, the source of true happiness for the Christian, and indeed for all mankind, is found in possessing that which we were made for.
