CAN HAPPINESS BE FOUND?
Around the Year with Emmet Fox
June 10
Volumes have been written on the secret of happiness,
but I like the simple old story that has been told so often.
In the old days, there was a king
who was so miserable and unhappy
that he called together all of his soothsayers, magicians,
and other court advisers to find a remedy.
They tried all sorts of methods
to rouse the king out of his deep despair—
but alas, to no avail.
Finally, one of them suggested that a search be made
for the happiest man in the kingdom,
for it was thought that
if the king could put on the man's undershirt,
he would become happy too.
In due course,
the happiest man in the kingdom was found.
But, of course,
he had never even owned an undershirt.
His happiness sprang from within.
“And ye shall seek me, and find me,
when ye shall search for me
with all your heart”
Jeremiah 29:13
