So Much Happiness!
"Give me happiness, O
Lord, for I give myself
to you."
Psalm 86: 4
The
founder of a large chain of Chinese supermarkets
has introduced “unhappy leave” days for employees.
Workers were told, “Everyone has times when they’re
not happy, so if you’re not happy, do not come to work."
We have days like that, but the Christian’s
life should must characterized by as much
happiness as possible.
Randy Alcorn wrote, “Until Christ completely cures
us and this world, our happiness will be punctuated
by times of great sorrow. But that doesn’t mean
we
can’t be predominantly happy in Christ.”
Thomas Brooks said, “God is the author of all true
happiness; he is the donor of all true happiness; he
is the maintainer of all true happiness; and he is the
center of all true happiness.”
Through cultivating our relationship with Jesus,
we will know real, personal joy and happiness
in our lives. Ask God, “Give me happiness, for
I give myself to You.” May He remind you that
you can achieve happiness through Him.
"Ah, friends, if you would but in good earnest
set upon reading of the holy Scriptures, you
may find in them so many happinesses as
cannot be numbered."
Thomas
Brooks
