Finding Happiness

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

Finding Happiness:

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!

He 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…

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

Jesus is the Prince of Peace!
