♥ Shortcut to Happiness ♥
~ Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. ~ Colossians 3:15
Almost 300 years ago the English Writer William Law wrote about a shortcut to happiness. "If anyone would tell you the shortest, surest way to happiness and all perfection, he must tell you to make it a rule to yourself to thank and praise God for everything that happens to you. For it is certain that whatever seeming calamity happen to you, if you thank and praise God for it you will turn it into a blessing."
Learning to praise and thank God for everything is an expression of your faith. Your act of thanking God for everything that happens proves that you believe God is alive and that it is He, not chance or fate, that really is in control of your life.
Praising God for what happens does no necessarily mean that you understand why everything happens. When your heart cries out "Why?" God often says, "Just trust Me."
William Law, like untold thousands before him, discovered that praising God for His workmanship in life will bring joy and happiness, thus ---- peace. Start right now by thanking Him for His goodness to you.♥
