Thought of the Day: The Key to a Happier Life

“And He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.: (Matthew 22:37-39)

Loving God and loving people will help you to live a more contented, peaceful, loving, caring happy life. Love overcomes hate, anger and unforgiveness. Find peace and happiness in loving God and loving people.

    One time, a certain pastor told me that some people have attended Church services throughout their lives but have gained nothing. I think this can be true if we do not have love or grace. love and grace is what links us with God, but if it can not link us with fellowmen, then we are not worth being called children of God.

    Remember you can use one march stick to light a candle, then use the candle to light another candle and so on. In the same way, the lord has given us the spirit of love and grace and it is now upon us to reflect what he has done. God’s love and Grace is what makes me have faith in God, and it is what makes me do good for his Children. Happiness comes from Giving and helping,Not Buying and having
