Aflame 132 - The Search

If we look for happiness in things outside of ourselves, we will build our lives on fragile foundation. But if we look to the One Who dwells within through grace, then nothing can take our happiness away from us. As the Magi teach us, pursuing the happiness of the Messiah is a long and arduous journey - but one that leads to everlasting joy.
