The problem with living by the ethic of “whatever makes me happy” is that you will end up living a very selfish life and in the end that will not lead to great happiness. Jesus invites us to question our answers. Instead of doing whatever makes us happy, He calls us to see our great need for God and to seek God’s help. He calls us to manifest God character in our relationships with others. It is in loving God and in loving others that we find the road to true happiness.
If you are convinced that living for “whatever makes me happy“ is the way to real happiness, Jesus invites you to question your answers. He offers a different way, a better way, a way that leads to the blessed life.
