True Happiness — Part 1
“Whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he”
(Proverbs 16:20).
True happiness is to be found only in the Lord Jesus Christ, feeding upon Him through the Word. Really, a Christian is the only one who has a right to be happy. Yes, and certainly we should be happy! We should be the happiest people on earth.
What is the reason we find so many Christians who go around with sad faces? It shows us that Christ is not the object of their hearts, and that they are not casting all their care upon Him, relying on the assurance that He cares for them every hour of every day.
There are some people who think that believers need to be very somber and serious — that what they call religion is to be always associated with gloom — so they go about looking so sad, as if they hadn’t a friend in the world, when Jesus is their friend and He has shown such wonderful love in giving His life for them, and is concerned about the smallest trials, and will carry all their cares for them if they will let Him.
