Christ Within the Source of Happiness, June 2
Christians Are Truly Happy
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek
the Lord.
1 Chronicles 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.
