If you would find happiness and peace in all you do, you must do everything in reference to the glory of God. If you would have peace in your hearts, you must seek earnestly to imitate the life of Christ…
You will have a serenity and happiness in rightdoing that you can never realize in a course of wrong…
He has, in His love, opened a fountain of pleasure and joy for the soul that trusts in Him…
Those who in everything make God first and last and best are the happiest people in the world…
~Ellen G. White, My Life Today, p.66
