Where is Happiness?
Not in pleasure -- Lord Byron lived a life of pleasure, if anyone did. He wrote: "The worm, the canker and the grief are mine alone."
Not in money -- Jay Gould, the American millionaire, had plenty of that. When dying, he said: "I suppose I am the most miserable man on earth."
Not in possession and fame -- Lord Beaconsfield enjoyed more than his share of both. He wrote: "Youth is a mistake, manhood a struggle, old age a regret."
Not in military glory -- Alexander the Great conquered the known world of his day. Having done so, he wept in his tent, because, as he said: "There are no more worlds to conquer."
Where, then is happiness found?
The answer is simple: "In Christ alone." He said: "I will see you again and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you." (John 16:22)
