The only really happy

The only really happy people in the world

"To guide our feet into the way of peace ." Luke 1:79

"Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace ." Proverbs 3:17

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27

A great many people think that the Christian life is hard and unpleasant, that it is a rough and steep road; but truly, it is a way of pleasantness and peace .

The only really happy people in the world , are those who are following Christ along the way of holiness. They have their share of troubles, disappointments, sorrows — but all the time in the midst of these, they have a secret peace of which the world knows nothing.

There are paths in the valleys , among the great mountains, which are sweet pictures of the Christian's way of peace. High up among the peaks and crags, the storms sweep in wild fury — but on these valley-paths , no breath of tempest ever blows.

Flowers bloom and springs of water gurgle along the wayside, and trees cast their grateful shadow, and bird-songs fill the air. Such is Christ's "way of peace" in this world.
