Many people pursue such things as money, beauty or fame to make them happy only to find that happiness eludes them. But let me quote the following to you:
"True happiness......
l. Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor; the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them!
2. Happy are those who mourn; The Heavenly Father will comfort them!
3. Happy are those who are humble; they will receive what the Almighty has promised!
4. Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what the Almighty requires; He will satisfy them fully!
5. Happy are those who are merciful to others; The Almighty will be merciful to them!
6. Happy are the pure in heart; they will see the Almighty Father!
7. Happy are those who work for peace; The Almighty will call them His children!
8. Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what the Almighty requires; the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!
9. 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."
- The Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5:3-11
