Where is HAPPINESS?

NOT IN MONEY...Jay Gould, the American millionaire, had an enormous fortune. When dying, he said, "I suppose I am the most miserable man on earth."
NOT IN PLEASURE...Lord Byron lived a life of pleasure and ease. He wrote: "The worm, the canker and grief are mine alone."
NOT IN MILITARY GLORY...Alexander the Great conquered the known world in his day. Then he wept, "There are no more worlds to conquer."
NOT IN POLITICAL POWER...William Tweed became the brilliant boss of Tammany Hall and ruled New York City. He said: "My life has been a failure in everything."
NOT IN UNBELIEF...Voltaire was an infidel of the most pronounced type. He wrote: "I wish I had never been born."
NOT IN POSITION AND FAME...Lord Beaconsfield enjoyed more than his share of both. He wrote, "Youth is a mistake; manhood a struggle; old age a regret."
WHERE IS HAPPINESS?
The answer is simple: In Christ alone.
HE said: "Your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you."
"Whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he." (Prov. 16:2)
