Topic : Are We Happiness- Makers Or Add Further Misery..? Do Our Acts Bring The World To Light Of Christ Or Do Our Acts Plunge Them To Further Darkness? Or Are We The Open Bible The World Can See Or Closed Bible...?
Mt. 5:16. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Mt. 5:13. You are the salt of the earth..
World needs nothing more than 'happiness - makers'. There is great deal of sadness, fear and depression everywhere. The Bible is the only Book in
the world meant to make people happy. Peace and joy rings all through it. The mission of the gospel is to give happiness. The angel's announcement of good tidings of great joy is going forth yet on every breeze.
The story of the love of Christ is - changing darkness to light, despair to hope, tears to laughter, sorrow to rejoicing, in all lands.
If you and I say, we are children of God, then we ought to be that open Bible. If we truly say we are the 'open Bible', a question to all of us - "Are we showing truly that love of Christ that changes the darkness and sadness in the lives of people to light?
Are we changing the despair, sorrow and anguish of people to hope and joy? Are we bringing people from tears of sorrow and hurt to tears of joy and healing? Is our life and lifestyle rekindling and replacing freshness of joy over grief and sorrow of others?"
If we are doing these things, then the world can see Christ in us. Our life itself becomes an open Bible.
Beloved, we are just sojourners. One profound evangelist once said, "Christians are the best actors, better than those who act in the film field.
Often times we express proffesed love, our very acts take others into intense darkness... We add more sorrow, more tears to already people who are aching with pain and misery. Everything that we do in this world will be uncovered one day before everyone. It can be only two. Either Glory or Shame and dishonour.
So, It is the mission of every Christian to be a 'happiness maker'. Each one of us as God's children have the power to add something at least to the world's gladness.
We can do this in a thousand ways, by being joyful ourselves, making our lives a sweet song, by telling others the joyful things of the Word of God. It's the key to true happiness and peace - by adding kindness to all we meet, by comforting the sorrowful and disheartened, lifting burdens away, cheering sadness and weariness and scattering blessings wherever we go.
Have a blessed and joyful day!!๐๐๐น
