What will it take to make you happy? What will it take to fulfill you? If you had the best car in the world, would you be happy? If you had the newest devices or the biggest house, would that be enough to make you happy? What about if you married the most beautiful or most handsome person on the planet… would that make you happy? The answer is no, no and no. 

It’s not your conquests that will make you happy, it’s the Spirit of God. 

You need to prosper, you need to take care of your health, you need to invest in your family and love life, but you can not depend on these things to make you happy. Only the Holy Spirit can fulfill you. 

Hannah (who was a woman of God) had a good husband, that took care of her and loved her even more than his other wife. But even though he treated her so well, the Bible says; “therefore she wept and did not eat.” 1 Samuel 1:7. As you can see, none of those things fulfilled her. She was so unhappy that she couldn’t even eat. 

Perhaps you are very educated. Maybe you have a good career and are a respected person, but if you depend on those things for happiness, you will end up miserable. 

After Hannah took her life and placed it in God’s hands by going to the altar, everything changed for her, starting on the inside. Look what the Word of God says happened after she sought God for help; 

So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad. 1 Samuel 1:18

There you have it… the recipe for happiness begins with putting your life completely and one hundred percent in God’s hands. Then he will remove the anguish in your soul and give you true happiness. 

May the God of the Bible Bless You
