| 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 children and
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?
"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?"
