True happiness is to love God. Everything else, the pursuit of riches, the wanting desires of the heart, the need to love and be loved, aside from God, will leave us empty and continually searching for purpose and meaning. There will come a time in our lives when we will stand before God and he will ask, “What have you done with your life?” And if all we could say is, “I became a world-renowned pianist,” or “I wrote hundreds of bestsellers,” or “I climbed Mount Everest,” or “I became CEO of the largest and most successful company on Earth,” God will then ask, “Did you love me?”
God wants those he has chosen to be happy. The only way to gain that happiness is to love him, making everything else secondary to that love. Jesus puts it this way:
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” (Matthew 22:37)
Apart from loving others, loving God should be our calling throughout our lives. No other commandment is greater than to give oneself wholly to God in service for his glory. That means not only in word but also in action. God would like us to love him in a way that would change us to think like him. What would Jesus do? But the question really is, what would we do apart from God? If we did not love God, what would our lives look like without that love? We do not want to stand before God one day to have him ask, “Did you love me?”
True happiness is to love God.
Looking to God 
Pastor Jack, I just came back to read this article again and I realized that indeed nothing in this world can satisfy us. True happiness is truly loving God, that is where everyone will find true fulfillment.
God bless you very much.
It is a wonderful truth to know that all we need is God to attain perfect happiness and joy in our lives. God bless you always, as well!
Thank you for sharing!

I had to stumble upon a few bumps until I finally found Him. He used certain people to lead me back to Him. To love and serve God should always be our purpose. It is only then that we can find true meaning in our lives. Thank you very much for always sharing God’s words!
I am so happy you were able find him, Tina! What a wonderful testimony to others and of how he has changed your life!
Short, sweet and beautifully said! This is a great thing to remind ourselves about; Staying humble in the name of the Lord because He is the only thing that matters!!
Most definitely, Erica! God is our all and without him we would be literally nothing!
