HAPPINESS
“He who gives heed to the word will prosper, and happy
is he who trusts in the Lord.” (Prov. 16:20) God wants
Christians to be happy. If Christians can’t be happy,
then who can? We have more to be happy about than
anyone else. Because God loved us enough to send His
Son to die for our sins, we can ask for and receive
salvation; because of Jesus’ resurrection, we have the
assurance of eternal life.
This does not mean that we will go through this life
without problems. But when we give our complete
lives, including our problems, to the Lord, He will help
us get through them and still come out smiling.
Too many Christians are like the man carrying a
heavy load. A wagon came by and the driver offered
the man a ride. He gratefully accepted, climbed in and
sat down, but he did not take the load off his shoulders.
The driver asked, “Why don’t you lay down your
burden?” “Thank you,” the man replied, “but it is
almost too much to ask you to carry me. I could not
think of letting you carry my burden too.” When we
give our burdens to Christ, we are free to be happy.
William A. Ward said it this way. “Real happiness is
more of a habit than a goal, more of an attitude than an
attainment. It is the companion of cheerfulness, not
the creature of circumstance. Happiness is what
overtakes us when we forget ourselves, when we learn
to open our eyes in optimism and close the door in the
face of defeat.”
True happiness is realized only when we forget self
and live for a higher cause, always giving God the
glory.
