~ The
Secret
~
One day,
one friend asked another,
"How is it that you
are always so happy?
You have so much energy,
and you never seem to get down."
With her eyes smiling, she said,
"I know the Secret!"
"What secret is
that?"
To which she replied,
"I'll
tell you all about it,
but you have to promise
to
share the Secret with
others."
"The Secret is this:
I have
learned there is little I can do
in my
life that will make me truly happy.
I must
depend on God to make
me happy and to meet my
needs.
When a need arises in my life,
I have to trust God to supply
according to
HIS riches.
I have learned most of the time
I don't need half of what I think I do.
He has never let me down.
Since I learned
that 'Secret', I am happy."
The
questioner's first thought was,
"That's too
simple!"
But upon reflecting over her own
life
she recalled how she thought a bigger
house
would make her happy, but it didn't!
She thought a better paying job
would
make her happy, but it hadn't.
When did she
realize her greatest happiness?
Sitting on the
floor with her grandchildren,
playing games,
eating pizza or reading a story,
a simple gift
from God.
Now you know it too!
We can't depend on people to make us happy.
Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that.
Trust HIM!
And now I pass the Secret
on to you!
So once you get it, what will you
do?
YOU have to tell
someone the Secret, too!
That GOD in His
wisdom will take care of YOU!
But it's
not really a secret...
We just have to believe
it and do it...
Really trust God!
Psalm 37:3
Trust in the LORD, and do good;
so shalt thou dwell in the land, and
verily thou shalt be fed.
Psalm 40:3
And he hath put a new song
in my mouth, even praise unto our God:
many shall see it, and fear, and shall
trust in the LORD.
Proverbs 29:25
The fear of man bringeth
a snare: but whoso putteth his
trust in the LORD shall be safe.
Have a blessed
day!
