STOP AND THINK – Seek to do good, and you will find that happiness will run after you. (James Freeman Clarke, 19th century American theologian and author)
The U.S. Declaration of Independence suggests that among our rights is “the pursuit of happiness.” Sounds like happiness is something you have to go after, you have to do something, or go somewhere to find it. Clarke, suggests, however, that you don’t have to search for happiness; rather it will find you if you are pursuing the good of others.
Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share (1 Timothy 6:18)
