Happiness Quote of the week

Before we set our hearts too much on anything, let us examine how happy are those who already possess it.  ~François Duc de La Rochefoucauld

Happiness is found in Love. Love is found in Giving.

Some people try hard to find happiness in so many places but true happiness comes out from LOVE that everyone is looking for! So try showing love to others (especially loved ones who we take for granted so often) and see what happens. A little smile, word of encouragement, a text and even something sweet to someone you know is hurting. That is love. It's giving. I believe that is why Jesus said "it's more blessed to give than to receive." Blessed simply means happy. So let us switch modes for today. From receiving to giving. That's what Jesus did in his life on earth and he gladly did it! If you studied Jesus' life in history, he didn't even have a house. He gave to the poor, gave to the blind and finally gave His life for all to have forgiveness of sins and life in its fullness. Though we don't deserve it, His love willingly paid the price. Now, He offers the gift of forgiveness and everlasting life to all. Just like a loving father would sacrifice his life to save his own, Jesus did the same for us. It's unexplainable. Have you tasted His love? Have you considered that and even bothered to find out more about His love? Although we acknowledge Him in the dating system (BC and AD), many of us don't think about Jesus Christ much. But Jesus Christ thinks of us everyday. He is waiting for us to believe in Him for an exciting relationship. New life starts when we simply turn from our sins to Him and exchange our sinful lives for Him to transform us. First taste God's love by faith in Jesus and then learn how to love like Him by reading about His life in the Gospels. After that, I am glad to inform you that we will see happiness in others and ourselves as a natural by-product!
