God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it.
There may be Peace without Joy, and Joy without Peace, but the two combined make Happiness.
I have to keep reminding myself: If you give your life to God, he doesn't promise you happiness and that everything will go well. But he does promise you peace. You can have peace and joy, even in bad circumstances.
It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy.
Happiness is only attained by the free will agreeing in its freedom to accord with the will of God.
Happiness is brief. It will not stay. God batters at its sails.
Happiness for me is totally just being at peace knowing that, everything I'm doing, God is pleased with that. It's complete peace for me.
It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.
The great thing in the world is not so much to seek happiness as to earn peace and self-respect.
