Money doesn't buy happiness.
I recently heard a gentleman who sold his software for millions of dollars talk about how unexcited and depressed he was about getting his wire payment. He said he actually had more joy in his first $14.99 online sale.
The excitement of worldly ways wear off quickly.
Let's look at out how Jesus says to find happiness versus the world's happiness. Found in the Sermon On The Mount in Matthew 5-7.
- Spiritual Fulfillment
- Sacrifice and Service
- Contentment in All Circumstances
- Eternal Perspective
- Peace with God
- Material Success
- Pleasure and Comfort
- Social Status and Relationships
- Personal Fulfillment
- Self-Actualization
The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17)
