And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
I J OHN 1:4 KJV

This prayer-full book, The Womans Secret of a Happy Life: Morning and Evening, will help you realize the deep, inner happiness you can have 24-7 as you connect to God with a devotional thought, prayer, and scripturestwo times a day for every day of the year.

As a believer, a deep, inner happiness is available to you. Such happiness is based on a calm assurance that, in spite of whats happening around you, youre trusting in Jesus, certain that the Holy Spirit is with you and that God will work all things out to your good. Its about allowing your happiness in the Lord, which is strong and eternal, to overrule the happenings in the world.

While youre traveling down this pathway, its vital to daily remind yourself who you are in Christ. To, each day, put on your new nature as you become more like your Creator (see Colossians 3:10). To help you in this quest, twenty Joy-Filled Womans Pathmarkers sections are included throughout these readings. Each points out one of Gods promises to you, provisions for you, and proofs of His work relating to that particular portrait of the new you.

May you open your heart and mind as you claim and journey to a joyful life in the Lord.
