THE SECRET
A woman named Frances once knew a young person at
church named Debbie.
Debbie always seemed effervescent and happy, although
Frances knew she
had
faced struggles in her life. Her long-awaited marriage
had quickly
ended in
divorce. She had struggled to get a grip
on her single life. She hadn't chosen it, but she
decided she would
live it
with utmost enjoyment and satisfaction.
Debbie was active in Sunday school, in the choir, as a
leader of the
junior
high girls' group, and in the church renewal movement.
Frances enjoyed
knowing Debbie. Debbie's whole face seemed to smile
and she always
greeted
Frances with a hug.
One day Frances asked Debbie, "How is it that you are
always so happy
you
have so much energy, and you never seem to get down?"
With her eyes
smiling, Debbie said, "I know the secret!" "What
secret is that?" "What
are
you talking about?" Frances asked. Debbie replied,
"I'll tell you all
about
it, but you have to promise to share the 'secret' with
others." Frances agreed, "Okay, now what is it?"
The secret is this: I have learned there is little I
can do in my life
that
will make me truly happy. I must depend on God to make
me happy and
meet my
needs. When a need arises in my life, I have to trust
God to supply
according to HIS riches. I have learned most of the
time I don't need
half
of what I think I do. HE has never let me down. Since
I learned that
secret
I am happy.
Frances' first thought was, That's too simple! But
upon reflecting over
her
own life she recalled how she thought a bigger house
would make her
happy-but it didn't! She thought a better-paying job
would make her
happy-but it hadn't.
When did she realize her greatest happiness? Sitting
on the floor with
her
grandchildren, eating pizza and watching a movie, a
simple gift from
God.
Debbie knew the secret, Frances learned the secret,
and now you know it
too! We can't depend on people to make us happy --
only GOD in His
wisdom
can do that. Trust him.
