Happiness in Forgetting Self.
Happiness is not found by seeking it; for to seek happiness for ourselves is selfishness, and the selfish is never happy. Happiness is found when, in seeking to make others happy, we forget ourselves. In a recent letter from a dear fellow-worker, are these words: Our best experiences are not found centered in or around self. Only when we forget ourselves in service to others, are we followers of Jesus. Some one was telling me the other day that the happiest Christmas he ever knew was when he had made up little presents, and trudged through blinding snow to carry them to those who were to receive them. Let us forget ourselves in the service of God and humanity, and we shall find happiness.
