Are you one of the happiest beings in this universe?
I do not know when I have had happier times in my soul, than when I have been sitting at work, with nothing before me but a candle and a white cloth, and hearing no sound but that of my own breath, with God in my soul and heaven in my eye… I rejoice in being exactly what I am,—a creature capable of loving God, and who, as long as God lives, must be happy. I get up and look for a while out of the window, and gaze at the moon and stars, the work of an Almighty hand. I think of the grandeur of the universe, and then sit down, and think myself one of the happiest beings in it.
—A POOR METHODIST WOMAN, 18TH CENTURY
Are you one of the happiest beings in this world? Do you have Heaven in your eye? Are you a creature capable of loving God? Do you know God's Almighty hand in your life? Sometimes the poorest of us can appreciate God more than the richest. What is important to you? Fame? Money? Titles? Material things, Being right? Do you want to be known for being negative, full of hate, living in misery? Or would you rather be known for being grateful, prayerful, loving, positive, and joyful in the Lord? Do you want to be happy? God offers a way to happiness, Jesus!
