Earthly vanities can never satisfy the enlarged
desires of an immortal soul. This is the reason
why worldly people are so restless and changeable.
Temporal objects soon cloy and satiate, therefore
worldlings fly from flower to flower like vagrant
butterflies until death closes their idle chase
after an unreal happiness!
Did they possess true wisdom, they would
discover the source of true felicity.
Christ and happiness are inseparable. If we
find true happiness, it is because we have
found Christ; for the pardon of sin,
peace with God,
purity of heart, and
the hope of glory,
cannot fail to render the believer blessed.

Isaiah 40:8 ... The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Matthew 6:20 ... But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Colossians 3:2 ... Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.❤
