Happiness is an equation or the product of one. True happiness is the product of this equation, "If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them." John 13:17. People pay for what they don't know,. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6. Happiness begins with knowledge. We were created to imitate or become like God. How can you separate true happiness from your calling?
