Happiness

Jennifer Ann Gordon

Holiest of days, glory be!
We are God’s happiness expressed,
His treasure,
His delight.
We are
happiness in action,
happiness happening,
God’s happiness-beings
—that’s us!
Our forever One-and-only,
is never circumstance-mirthful
or happenstance-happy,
and neither are we.
O Father, our Father,
how blessed we are!
We swim in the sea
of Your infinite love—
in abounding, boundaryless Love.
