Report Copyright Violation | Happy Are Those Who Serve “the Happy God” Happy Are Those Who Serve “the Happy God” “Happy is the people whose God is Jehovah!”—PSALM 144:15. HOW WOULD YOU ANSWER? What do we need to be truly happy? What qualities help us to be happy? Why can we be happy even if we have problems? 1. Why are Jehovah’s Witnesses a happy people? (See opening picture.) JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES are a happy people. Whenever they are together, whether at a meeting, an assembly, or a social gathering, they are talking and laughing with one another. Why are they so happy? It is mainly because they know Jehovah, “the happy God.” They serve him and try to imitate him. (1 Timothy 1:11; Psalm 16:11) Jehovah is the Source of happiness, so he wants us to be happy, and he gives us many reasons to be joyful.—Deuteronomy 12:7; Ecclesiastes 3:12, 13. |

Report Copyright Violation | Re: Happy Are Those Who Serve “the Happy God” 2, 3. (a) What does it mean to be happy? (b) Why may it be difficult to be happy? 2 What about you? Are you happy? To be happy means to feel good, to be content with your life or very joyful. The Bible shows that those who are blessed by Jehovah can be truly happy. But then why may it be difficult to be happy in today’s world? |

3 It can be difficult to be happy when we experience stressful situations, such as when someone we love dies or is disfellowshipped, when our marriage ends in divorce, or when we lose our job. It can also be difficult to be happy when there is no peace at home because of constant fighting, when our workmates or classmates mock us, or when we are persecuted or put in prison because we serve Jehovah. Or our health may deteriorate, we may develop a chronic illness, or we may suffer from depression. But remember that Jesus Christ, “the happy and only Potentate,” or Ruler, loved to comfort people and to make them happy. (1 Timothy 6:15; Matthew 11:28-30) In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus mentioned some qualities that can help us to be happy even when we have many problems because we are living in Satan’s world. |
