Jehovah wants you to be happy (10 mins.) Analysis with the audience.
Play the VIDEO Creation shows that Jehovah wants to see us happy. The delicious foods and the pleasant sounds. Then ask:
When you taste the food and hear the sounds, what convinces you that God wants to see you happy?
When I taste food, I realize that not only are they necessary to live, but God made them delicious and varied. There are so many flavors, colors and textures that make us enjoy eating. He didn't have to make them so nice, but he did it because he wants us to be happy.
And when I listen to the sounds of nature, like birds singing or the sound of running water, I feel incredible peace. These sounds are not essential for living, but they are there to cheer us up. That convinces me that God not only created us to survive, but to enjoy life.

It's incredible to think about how many fruits, vegetables and spices there are, each with a different flavor. This makes me feel like God really thought about our happiness. He didn't make the food boring or the same, but rather gave us a great variety so that we could enjoy each meal in a special way.
Listening to the song of a bird or the sound of a waterfall has a calming effect. It's as if those sounds were designed to relax us and make us happy. That helps me see how much God loves us, because even in the small details of nature we can see his desire for us to live with joy.
Read Psalm 32:8. Then ask:
Jehovah wants us to be happy. Why does remembering that motivate us to follow the advice given to us through the Bible and its organization?
In Psalm 32:8, Jehovah promises that he will show us the way and give us counsel, because he wants to guide us like a loving father. This motivates us to follow His advice because we understand that He not only seeks our obedience, but also our happiness and well-being, as He has demonstrated in all His creation.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Psalm 32:8 reminds us that Jehovah watches over us and wants to teach us the best way. When we follow their advice, we avoid decisions that could lead to problems or suffering. For example, if we obey his advice about being honest and treating others with love, we live at peace with others and with ourselves.
Jehovah not only teaches us the way, but also “watches over us.” This means that, even if we don't always understand why He gives us certain advice, trusting Him assures us that we are on the best path. For example, when we apply the counsel to put the Kingdom first, we experience true happiness and peace of mind as we see how Jehovah cares for our needs.
