Do You Want to be Happy?
“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom
shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
(Isaiah 6:8 KJV)
Pastor Alfred Henry Ackley wrote a beautiful song “In the Service of the King”.
The words in this song describe how I feel. “I am happy in the service of the
King. I am happy, O so happy! Through the sunshine and shadow I can sing, In the
service of the King”.
I receive a lot of emails from people who are unhappy. Are you unhappy? Do you
want to be happy? If so, serve Jesus! Happiness only comes when we surrender
everything we have to Him. You may not have a lot of talents but you can smile
at someone.
God may want to use you to encourage and comfort someone for Him. Are you
listening for His call? You will never hear Him speaking to you if you are
watching television all day long. Think how God could move in the hearts and
lives of our loved ones if we would pray for them as much as we watch
television.
All of us want to be happy. I sure want to be happy but I think that instead of
thinking about our happiness so much we need to concentrate on making Jesus
happy. If ever someone deserves to be happy, it is our precious Saviour. Will
you shut off the television and serve the One who died for you?
