Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
— Job 37:14
King James Version of the Bible
from “Providential Guideposts”
Happiness … p. 24
For all too many happiness is but a daydream nourished by faint hope. Others have overcome such reverie by rediscovering their childlike trust to know that happiness is no longer illusory, but is in fact wondrously real.
The rediscovery of our childlike trust awakens in us our spiritually inner self and gives light to the very soul: We know beyond faith that God lives in us and we in Him.
Happiness is not a state of mind, something to think about and make real. Rather, it is one of surrendering to God in all humility, that His will may be done. Happiness is made whole and our purpose revealed, only when shared with others.
