“… – happiness, freedom, and peace of mind – …”

In the publication called COFFEE NEWS (Vol 127:4) I am reading the quote by Peyton C. March:

“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.”

Are you craving for hapiness? Are you craving for freedom? Are you craving for peace of mind?

I think we can put a string around those three things and deal with them together.

When a person accepts the Lord Jesus Christ or rather when the Lord Jesus Christ accepts a person, the sinner may only be conscious of  happiness or freedom from sin or peace. But I have learned that in fact 38 things are happening when a person comes out of darkness into light, from death into life.

Do you want happiness? Do you want freedom? Do you want peace of mind?

The Lord Jesus Christ says in Matthew 11:28:

“‘COME TO ME , ALL YOU WHO ARE WEARY AND BURDENED, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.'”

“‘O Lord, the great and awesome God,

Daniel 9:4-6

Intr.:

who keeps his covenant of  love

–with all who love him and

–obey his commands,

1. we have sinned and

2. done wrong.

3. We have been wicked and

4. have rebelled;

5. we have turned away from

a. your commands and

b. laws.

6. we have not listened to your servants the prophets, who have spoken in your name to

a. our kings,

b. our princes and

c. our fathers, and

d. to all the people of the land.'”
