“La verdadera felicidad en la vida resulta de la transformación de sus procesos de pensamiento. Colosenses 1.16 dice que «todo fue creado por medio de él y para él». Esto lo incluye a usted. Puesto que ha sido hecho para Dios, usted no conocerá la verdadera felicidad hasta que sepa lo que le agrada a Él. Pero no lo sabrá hasta que usted sepa lo que dice su manual para la vida: La Biblia. Al estudiar su Palabra y aprender a vivir según sus principios, usted comenzará a experimentar una gran satisfacción y felicidad. El profeta Jeremías se dio cuenta de esto cuando dijo: «Fueron halladas tus palabras, y yo las comí; y tu palabra me fue por gozo y por alegría de mi corazón» (Jeremías 15.16). Cuando entiende lo que Dios quiere de su vida y todas las promesas que Él ha preparado para usted, le traerá alegría más allá de lo imaginable. Quizá usted está teniendo problemas en una relación. Tal vez su hogar no sea todo lo que debería ser. Es posible que no tenga el dinero para comprar algo que necesita desesperadamente. Usted podría estar pasando por dificultades en la escuela o en el trabajo. A pesar de que nada parece estar trabajando para su bien en este momento, le aseguro que todo saldrá bien al final. ¿Cómo puedo hacerle una promesa temeraria como esa? Debido a que las promesas de Dios en Cristo se cumplirán en usted. La Biblia lo dice. Y esto le da a cada cristiano un motivo de regocijo.”
