God's gift of happiness

Joy that lasts isn't a vain wish but is a spiritual reality.

Nathan A. Talbot

How natural it is to want to be happy. In fact, how natural it is to be happy. The reason is that happiness is a gift of God. Every individual has access to this gift. It is so normal to receive a gift that God Himself gives and for it to be an unfluctuating presence in our lives.

The constancy of what divine Love provides is solidly indicated in the Bible promise "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."
