Fake Happiness

When we lived in Mexico City, my wife Pat had an interesting experience at the hair salon. As her hair was being styled, she noticed that many of the middleclass women in the shop were chit-chatting with a slur. It wasn�t an accent. It was a slur! Later, we found out why. These women were addicted to tranquilizers.

These middle class ladies were not satisfied with life. They used drugs to fill their emptiness. Even today, many people have mastered the art of looking like they have it all together on the outside. But inside, they are dying. Often we cannot tell when people are going through pain.� We only see their fake happiness.

Sadly, many Christians don�t share their faith because they think the lost are already happy.� The truth is – they are not happy.� They are dying without Jesus Christ. You hold the keys to the News that can change their life! You have the Gospel. The Bible says, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.” Are you shining your light? Just think – if you don�t share God�s truth and love with the people in your life, who will?
