The Daily Grace Podcast Does God Want Us to be Happy?
“Choose holiness, not happiness.” Are these two things mutually exclusive? Does our personal pursuit of holiness come at the expense of our happiness? Actually, no! When we go to God’s Word, we see that the terms “happiness” and “joy” are used interchangeably. In fact, we see the key to effectively glorifying God in our lives is by enjoying Him. Our holiness and happiness are intricately connected! God desires for you to be happy knowing that He alone is the Source of our holiness and happiness.
