“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never hunger” (John 6:34).
***
I’m sure most of us have heard Bruce Springsteen’s famous song, “Everybody’s Got a Hungry Heart.”
We can sing along because we know it’s true! Everybody’s got a hungry heart.
But not everybody knows how to satisfy it.
***
The only way to satisfy that deep hunger within us is to love.
It’s a strange and uncomfortable truth, but the more we give ourselves away, the happier we become.
***
Nobody embodied this truth better than Jesus.
From his birth until his death, he gave himself away. How happy he must’ve been.
***
The same is true for us. The more we share our lives with others – the more we love, the more we forgive, the more we serve – the happier we become.
How might we grow together in happiness today?
