A woman named Frances once knew a young person at church named Debbie.
Debbie always seemed effervescent and happy, although Frances knew she
had faced struggles in her life. Her long-awaited marriage had quickly
ended in divorce. She had struggled to get a grip on her single life.
She hadn't chosen it, but she decided she would live it with utmost
enjoyment and satisfaction. Debbie was active in Sunday school, in the
choir, as a leader of the junior high girls' group, and in the church
renewal movement. Frances enjoyed knowing Debbie. Debbie's whole face
seemed to smile and she always greeted Frances with a hug. One day
Frances asked Debbie,
"How is it that you are always so happy you have
so much energy, and you never seem to get down?"
With her eyes smiling,
Debbie said,
"I know the secret!"
"What secret is that? What are you
talking about?" Frances asked.

Debbie replied, "I'll tell you all about it, but you have to promise to
share the 'secret' with others." Frances agreed, "Okay, now what is it?"
The secret is this: I have learned there is little I can do in my life
that will make me truly happy. I must depend on God to make me happy and
meet my needs. When a need arises in my life, I have to trust God to
supply according to HIS riches. I have learned most of the time I don't
need half of what I think I do. HE has never let me down. Since I
Learned that secret I am happy. Frances' first thought was, That's too
simple! But upon reflecting over her own life she recalled how she
thought a bigger house would make her happy-but it didn't! She thought
A better-paying job would make her happy-but it hadn't. When did she
realize her greatest happiness? Sitting on the floor with her
Grandchildren, eating pizza and watching a movie, a simple gift from
God. Debbie knew the secret, Frances learned the secret, and now you
know it too! We can't depend on people to make us happy-only GOD in his
wisdom can do that. Trust him. And now I pass the secret on to you!

So once you get it, whatcha gonna do?

YOU have to tell someone the secret, too!
