How to Be Truly Happy - Bernard W Schnippert - August 1982

Bernard W Schnippert

What is true happiness? How can we have it, now and in the future? Are you happy? Are you - really? Perhaps no other question penetrates past our superficial masks of contentment as this one does. For, when asked if we are happy, we are forced to dig deep into our hearts, past our goals, our problems, our possessions, our hopes and our dreams, into the most private recesses of our being. Here, deep inside ourselves in places where we rarely let the searching eyes or ears of others travel~ we hold the answer. And that answer, while it may be a joyous "Yes!", all too often is a somber "Sometimes" or a perplexed "I don't know" or an embarrassed and depressed "No, I guess not." So, what about you? Are you happy? Do you have a right to expect to be? And, if you should or can be happy, how should you go about it? Just what should our attitude as Christians be toward this topic of "being happy"? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
