“for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking,

but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit..”

Romans 14:17

Each one of us wants to be happy. You are happy when you happen to meet someone special in your life. You are happy when you receive the news that a prominent company wants to hire you. You are happy when you are on vacation. You are happy when you are enjoying your favorite food and drink. You are happy when you get the promotion you always wanted. You are happy when someone gives you a present. However, the state of your happiness is dependent on a positive circumstance that you are experiencing at the moment.
