Commands and Happiness

God created people to pursue true happiness.  Everyone by nature desires happiness.  The Lord has not only created us with this driving passion, He has appointed the means by which it can be attained.  God has given us commands to direct us to what gives Him glory and at the same time makes us happy.  Obedience to God is the only way to satisfy the human heart.  We never come to know ourselves until we consider why we were born into this world.  We will find what we desire most only in enjoying God, and in seeking happiness in Him we safeguard our eternal salvation from the idolatries of the world.
