Christ Within the Source of Happiness

Christ Within the Source of Happiness

     Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them
rejoice that seek the Lord. 1 Chron. 16:10  

     Multitudes . . . crave something which they do not
have. They are spending their money for that which is not
bread and their labor for that which satisfieth not. The
hungering, thirsting soul will continue to hunger and
thirst as long as it partakes of these unsatisfying
pleasures. O that every such one would listen to the voice
of Jesus, "If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and
drink." Those who drink of the living water will thirst no
more. . . . Christ, the wellspring of life, is the fountain
of peace and happiness. . . .  

     Let the youth magnify the name of the Lord for His
great goodness, His loving mercy, His tender compassion.
They can magnify His name by revealing His grace through a
well-ordered life and a godly conversation. And as they do
this the disposition is sweetened; irritability passes
away.  

     That heart is the happiest that has Christ as an
abiding guest. That home is the most blessed where
godliness is a controlling principle. . . . In the workshop
where the peace and heavenly presence of Christ dwells, the
workers will be the most trustworthy, the most faithful,
and the most efficient. The fear and love of God are seen.
 

     In this world there is neither comfort nor happiness
without Jesus. Let us acknowledge Him as our Friend and
Saviour. . . . In Him are matchless charms. O may we all so
live during this brief period of probationary time that we
shall reign with Him throughout the ceaseless ages of
eternity! 

                        *      *      *      *      *  

     If Christ abides in the heart by faith, . . . you will
be happy, full of praise and joy.
