Where Is Happiness Found?.


Be he king or peasant,
Who finds peace in his home
Shall be happy.

Where Is Happiness Found?.

Not in unbelief -
Voltaire was an infidel of the most pronounced type.
He wrote: "I wish I had never been born."

Not in pleasure -
Lord Byron lived a life of pleasure, if anyone did.
He wrote: "The worm, the canker, and the grief are mine alone."

Not in money -
Jay Gould, the American millionaire, had plenty of that.
When dying he said:
"I suppose that I am the most miserable man on Earth."

Not in position or fame -
Lord Beaconsfield enjoyed more than his share of both.
He wrote "Youth is a mistake, manhood a struggle, old age a regret."

Not in military glory -
Alexander the Great conquered the known world in his day. Having done so, he wept, because, he said:
"There are no more worlds to conquer."

Where then is happiness found?
The answer is simple:
In Christ alone!

Jesus said:
"I will see you again,
and your heart will rejoice,
and your joy no man can take away from you."

May the Joy of the Lord be your strength…
