HAPPINESS – FREEDOM – PEACE OF MIND

“There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life – happiness, freedom, and peace of mind –  are always attained by giving them to someone else.” – Peyton Conway March

HAPPINESS:

Please read Matthew 5:3-12 in THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE.

Verse 6: “Blessed and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous [that is, in that state in which the born – again child of God enjoys His favor and salvation] are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), for they shall be completely satisfied!”

FREEDOM:

John 8:32,36 ; Isaiah 61:1 ; Romans 8:2,21 ; Second Corinthians 3:17

Second Corinthians 3:17

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Freedom.”

PEACE OF MIND:

Philippians 4:7 ; Isaiah 26:3

Philippians 4:7

“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
