DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Happiness From Thoughts, and Other Sermons These are gracious words. They fall like rain on the mown field, bringing again to life the roots of feeling and of conduct that the hot sun of care has parched. Come, says Jesus, with your laboring and heavy laden souls, and I will give you rest; for I will show you that religion is not to do this act or that, in this way or in another 3 but to live justly and mercifully, and with humble devoutness and this every man can do in his own soul. This only is my yoke, to be meek and lowly of heart; which is an easy yoke and a light burden because truly it is in accordance with the nature of the soul. Now this you see sets peace in the state of the mind and not in any outward doings or fortunes. Now peace is the blessing the world calls for. Do not you wish peace? Has not Heaven always been thought of as a rest? Herbert says that weariness shall toss us to the breast of our Father. Who of you is not tired often? Who of you wages not a strife which sometimes is exhausting? To beat peace, to have a quiet mind, - this always has been a great need, and sought anxiously. I will ask you to take a near view of this rest to which Jesus calls the laboring and heavy laden, for if - rest (as the world thinks) be something to be courted by greatness and power, lying softly on the pillow of the taskmaster but scout ing the cabin of the slave, what is Jesus' invitation worth, who had not where to lay his head P.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDo you ever wonder whether God even cares if we’re happy? This world can be so hard, and we aren’t promised an easy road. But that’s not the whole story. The Bible is filled with verses that prove that ours is a God who not only loves celebrations but also desperately wants his children to experience happiness. Why else would he go to the lengths he did to ensure our eternal happiness in his presence? We know that we will experience unimaginable joy and happiness in heaven, but that doesn’t mean we can’t also experience joy and happiness here on earth. In Happiness, noted theologian Randy Alcorn (bestselling author of Heaven) dispels centuries of misconceptions about happiness, including downright harmful ideas like the prosperity gospel, and provides indisputable proof that God not only wants us to be happy, he commands it. Randy covers questions like: How can I cultivate happiness in my life? What’s the difference between joy and happiness? Can good things become idols that steal our happiness? Is seeking happiness selfish? How can I achieve happiness through gratitude? What does it look like to receive God’s grace? The most definitive study on the subject of happiness to date, this book is a paradigm-shifting wake-up call for the church and Christians everywhere.
