Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 " What the Bible Says About Happiness " Written by Norman Peale (with T. Kauffman) " Basically, the Bible is a book not of severity and gloom but of joy, even laughter. With what joy the Lord God must have created the world with all its exotic flowers, colorful birds, and strange creatures of the land and sea! The star sprinkled sky, sunrises, sunsets, spring days, and the glory of autumn are all the handiwork of a joyful Creator. The Bible gives us many important clues to finding abiding happiness. Here are a few: 'Happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.' (Psalm 14:15) 'He that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.' (Proverbs 14:21) 'We count them happy which endure.' ( 5:11) 'Happy is that man that findeth wisdom.' (Proverbs 3:13) Put these verses into practice in your daily life, and you will be blessed beyond measure. " Condensed from Bible Power for Successful Living, Copyright 1993 by Norman Peale and T. Kauffman. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AffirmationstoDe-Stress A new positive thinking, positive affirmations support group, discussing ways to cope with the stresses of daily life.
