of human existence.”

Aristotle

“All men seek happiness. This is without exception. Whatever different means they employ, they all tend to this end. The cause of some going to war and of others avoiding it, is the same desire in both, attending with different views. The will never takes the least step but to this objective. This is the motive of every man, even of those who hang themselves.”

Blaise Pascal

The Beatitudes (Matt 5:3-6)

Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor; the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!

Happy are those who mourn; God will comfort them!

Happy are those who are humble; they will receive what God has promised!

Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires; God will satisfy them fully!

The Beatitudes (Matt 5:7-10)Happy are those who are merciful to

others; God will be merciful to them!Happy are the pure in heart; they will see

God!Happy are those who work for peace; God

will call them his children!Happy are those who are persecuted

because they do what God requires; the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!

The Beatitudes (Matt 5:11-12)Happy are you when people insult you and

persecute you and tell all kinds of evil lies against you because you are my followers.

Be happy and glad, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven. This is how the prophets who lived before you were persecuted.

3. Happiness is a gift when we pursue God and trust Him.

4. Happiness is obtained easier when our character conforms more to Christ.

5. Happiness greatly increases when we cultivate a heart of thankfulness.

6. Real happiness is not found in avoiding sorrow and mourning.

7. Happiness is in being fully convicted that complete happiness is found only in the next life.
