What is happiness? No one knows it like you. How short those moments are and what follows immediately it ends. Most often it is replaced by our burdens of guilt and loneliness. Loneliness, one of the worst things any man or woman should endure. Though superficial even the slave girl or the homeless can be heard from afar laughing like nothing really matters. Will you call that happiness? This happiness is always short lived. We have all experienced it. But there is a way of escape. A way to the real thing!!! HOW? you ask. The answer is JESUS. Remember these words of His:
‘‘I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.’’ John 14:18-20 KJV.
When Stephen look up to heaven on the day he was martyred and Paul and Silas sang in the prison....THAT WAS HAPPINESS. Their present situation had no hold on them. There was no guilt or emptiness to return to. Jesus had had taken it all and was right there in them and they in Him. You got to have Him in there if you want to know what happiness is. Knowing Him is what life is all about.
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33.
Get to know Jesus and ponder over this word of His "I will not leave you comfortless"
cheers!!
