So What is HAPPINESS? Oh dear where did we go wrong? Genesis 3: Then God said to the man, “I told you clearly not to eat from that tree. But you listened to your wife and ate from it. So I will blight the ground because of you. You will have to work hard all your life for the food the ground produces. Your investments may go down and your mortgages will go up. 18 The ground will grow thorns and weeds and life will become difficult for you. 1

Worry NOT for the good news comes after this. You will have to eat the plants that grow wild in the fields, GM crops and horse meat so others may profit at your expense. 19 You will work hard for a living, until your face is covered with sweat or the glow of perspiration and your head aches from hours spent before your VDU. You will work hard until the day you die and then you will become dust again. I used dust to make you and when you die, you will become dust again.” 2

Our path to Blessing, Joy and Happiness. From First Adam to Second Adam. Hebrews 12. We have great people around us as examples. Their lives tell us what faith means. So we, too, should run the race and never give up. We should remove from our lives anything that would slow us down. 2 We must never stop looking to Jesus. He is the leader of our faith, and He is the one who makes our faith complete. He suffered death on a cross. But he accepted the shame of the cross as if it were nothing because of the joy he could see waiting for him. And now he is sitting at God’s right hand. 3 Think about what Jesus put up with. Think about him so that you won’t get discouraged or unhappy. Just trust Him. 3
