"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you" (John 15: 7).

People seek many advantages, run after their goals, run after their happiness, a relentless quest for a happy life. Keep seeking that joy.

"By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so shall ye be my disciples, "John 15: 8. Our dependence is totally on God, you will never be a complete person if you do not live at God's feet, serving Him at all times. God has the best to offer you, because He loves you and wants to give the best for your life, in Him you find happiness, prosperity, miracle, healing, restoration. The Lord is the solution to everything you struggle with. "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love, "John 15: 9. You can only overcome your adversities, the problems, because of the Love that the Father has for your life, an inexplicable love. But it's not because He loves us that you do not have to do anything. For to have this happiness you must have a life of prayer, fasting, dedicating yourself to His work. God helps those who are with Him at all times and not only when He needs them. The joy that comes from God is different from what the world offers. Because maybe you can find joy in drugs, which is something momentary and can bring addiction accordingly. There are joys at parties, which are also momentary, that bring you joys, but nothing aggregative. "These things I have spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full," John 15:11. The joy that comes from the Lord is for eternity and is not momentary as the world tries to deceive you. Be happy in the house of the Father, choose to be happy with Jesus. For the world has nothing to give you. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do what I command you. I no longer call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for whatsoever I have heard of my Father I have made known to you, "John 15: 13-15. Our joy is complete only with God. Do not be incomplete, seek your happiness in Christ Jesus. God bless your day!
