A sweet young man revealed to his father what makes him happy in a precious and heartwarming video.

Everyone wants to live a life that is both happy and fulfilling and also one that has direction and purpose. However, happiness is very elusive for many people. They’ll search far and wide for anything that will make them happy and feel fulfilled.

Most people will try this and that, hoping it will provide them with some semblance of happiness. But whatever happiness people discover in things is always temporary, and their search will continue after a while. Followers of Christ know and understand that the only authentic, lasting happiness and fulfillment is found in Him. His forgiveness, love and mercy can fulfill and sustain us, providing what so many people in the world are searching for.

While true, actual happiness and fulfillment can only be found in Jesus Christ, there are still things in this world that are intended to be enjoyed. As a video posted on social media shows, one young man believes he has found what makes him happy. The little guy even informs his father about what brings him happiness.

“You know what makes me happy, Daddy?” the little guy asks in the cutest Scottish accent.

His father, wanting to know and understand what makes his youngster happy, responds.

“What makes you happy, son?” Dad asks.

The young man’s answer, as some may have been able to predict, is not some profound, drawn-out, philosophical answer on the subject of happiness. Instead, the little guy gives likely the sweetest and most relatable answer possible.

“Chocolate ice cream,” the child answers.

The adorable clip ends with the child eating a drumstick and thanking his father for the sweet treat.

“Yummy chocolate ice cream! Thank you, Daddy!”

I think most people would completely agree with that young man’s statement about the sweet treat. 

Proverbs 15:13 “A glad heart makes a shining face, but by the sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.”
