ARE YOU REALLY HAPPY?

"Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God." (Psalms 146:5) My dear Brother in Christ, high in position or low in position, rich or poor, master or servant, young or old, here is a question that deserves your answer at this end of the world. "Are you really happy?" You care about nothing except the things of this world. You neglect the Bible. You make a god of your business or your money. You provide for everything except the Day of Judgment. You scheme and plan about everything except eternity. Are you really happy? You know that you are not. My dear Sister in Christ, high in position or low in position, rich or poor, master or servant, young or old, here is a question that deserves your answer at this end of the world. Are you really happy? You throw away your life in thoughtlessness. You spend hours after hours on that poor body which must soon be fed to the worms. You make an idol of dress and fashion; of excitement and pleasure; and of human praise, as if this world is all there is to contemplate. Are you really happy? You know that you are not. My dear Brother or Sister, if you are living for yourself and this world, you are sowing misery for yourself. Stop and think, before it is too late. Awake from your vain dreams. Think of the uselessness of living a life which you will be ashamed of at the hour of God’s judgement. Open your eyes and look around the world carefully. Who has ever been really happy without God? Consider the road on which you are now travelling. Mark the footsteps of those who have gone before you. See how many have turned away from it, and have confessed that they were wrong. If you have not given your life to Christ, it is certain that you shall miss happiness in this world later in life, as well as in the world to come! Embrace Christ and be really happy now and in the future. Clement Asante.
