Psalms 37:4. God is the answer to an unhappy life. God created us and created us for a purpose. True happiness comes from us having a sense of purpose in life and fulfilling it. If we ignore God or run from Him or hate Him, we will have an unhappy life.

Proverbs 28:14. Many of us ask the question of why am I unhappy. We look at all the circumstances of our lives to find the answer, but we find no answers.

Acts 5:41. Christians should think of it as an honor to be criticize, ridiculed, and shamed for speaking the gospel of Jesus Christ. Christians are not here to confront or condemn people, but we are here to speak the truth. Many people do not want to hear the truth because then they would have to change their ways. Their reaction to the Christian gospel is one of hate.

Hebrews 12:2. Expressing your views as a Christian can be a humiliating process. Many people are quite hateful of Christian views on such topics as sex, marriage, temperance, recreational drugs, meaning of life, and even money. People will shame you because you do not believe what society believes or what their group believes.

Summary of John 15. Jesus tell us that He is the true vine. He tells us to abide in Him and He will abide in us. If He abides in us, we can ask what we will and it shall be done.

1 Corinthians 13:6. True Love rejoices in things of God. The things of God include love itself, truth, and goodness. God is the only source of all true love, truth, and goodness. Without God there is no true love, truth, or goodness. Someone that is in true love hates sin (disobedience to God), not glad when others are wrong, and always happy by the goodness in others.

Proverbs 29:18. From a Christian perspective, a human Government should have laws that promote a vision based on the teachings of Christ. The good news is that many Governments to include the United States have laws based on Judeo-Christian beliefs, namely the Ten Commandments. Until recent times, U.S. laws have promoted the pursuit of happiness and peace based on Judeo-Christian beliefs.

Matthew 25:21. Jesus’ story of the five golden talents is a good example of Christian diligence. The parable illustrates how we should be industrious with the talents that God provides us. In the parable, the lord provided each of his servants a certain number of golden talents.

Romans 5:2. Unlike God’s love, God’s grace is conditional. On the other hand just like love, God offers grace to everyone. The difference between God’s love and saving grace is that grace is only given to ones that have faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Romans 15:13. Having hope is a wondrous thing that is a necessity on your way to happiness. Without hope most things cannot be accomplished. Hope gives you energy and motivation to reach your goal. If you had no hope that you will be paid on your job, would you even go to work?
