Just Happy - Daily Dose of Wisdom

The Baal Shem Tov taught that true happiness is the high road to G‑d.

"Serve G‑d with happiness!" sings the psalmist. And the Baal Shem Tov explained, "The happiness itself is your service of G‑d."

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

Happiness

That means, when I am sad or depressive,
then I am not serving G-d?
And that means also: the older you get, the less you can serve God???
It's a bit hard to believe.
Of course I feel gratefulness and more love
for G-d , as He was at my side all my life
long. But happiness? Now I am weeping more often than at the times I fell in love with my husband or had children. -

Just Happy

Honoring the knowledge that has been brought down from the Baal Shem Tov If I may just say that sometimes I just feel happy-I may not know why but I ask myself if I have done all I could today and sometimes the answer is yes...so I feel G-D s presence and his love then I am the happiest.
