(Well, happiness might be a drink sometimes;)
Submission is the letting go
Of things held, not in hands but hearts
Without it we will never know
The perfect peace that God imparts
Love; manifold, grand mystery
Perplexing pauper, prince and priest
We cannot its true fullness see
Until we make ourselves the least
Happiness is not a drink
Or fate’s elusive destiny
Happiness is found, I think
In living's moment-melody
Laughter, under-rated bliss
Ah, how can we enjoy it more?
Submission, love and happiness
It seems, are at its very core

After putting
this book down for a while because
suddenly I was reading a few other books, I have returned to it, reading it slowly so I
don’t miss a thing…
“You either see beauty or you do not”, said Peter in a sermon.
“If you do not, no amount of argument can make you see it”
Peter's life is an example of submission and the fruits thereof.
Want a good laugh today? Today's YDP will surely at the least stir a chuckle!
Submission is not outward conforming, but inward
transforming
My Grandmother reminded me more than once that until we fully submit our will to God we can never be fully happy!
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
