D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Quotes

Blessed Are They Which Do Hunger And Thirst After Righteousness.' What Does It Mean? Let Me Put It Negatively Like This. We Are Not To Hunger And Thirst After Blessedness; We Are Not To Hunger And Thirst After Happiness. But That Is What Most People Are Doing. We Put Happiness And Blessedness As The One Thing That We Desire, And Thus We Always Miss It; It Always Eludes Us. According To The Scriptures Happiness Is Never Something That Should Be Sought Directly; It Is Always Something That Results From Seeking Something Else.
