The potential for a happy abundant Christian life is available to all who would make Jesus the Lord of their lives, yet there are many Christians whose lives lack the joy and fullness of a truly happy life. A keen observer once said to me, "You Christians seem to have a religion that makes you miserable. You are like a man with a headache. He does not want to get rid of his head, but it hurts him to keep it. You cannot expect outsiders to seek earnestly for anything so uncomfortable." Then, for the first time I saw that the religion of Christ ought to be, and was meant to be, something that would make its possessors happy, not miserable. I began then and there to ask the Lord to show me the secret of a happy Christian life.

Hannah Whitall Smith (1832-1911) was an American Quaker writer and speaker associated with the holiness and Keswick movements. Her work focused on the practical aspects of spiritual life, particularly the cultivation of trust and the experience of inward peace. The Christian's Secret to a Happy Life became one of the most widely read devotional works of its time and has remained in continuous circulation, influencing subsequent writing on Christian living and spiritual discipline.
