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! |
