105 Bible verses about Happiness

You should never doubt God's infinite goodness. Trust completely in His love and care, even when things get tough. In those moments, you can find refuge in Him and His protection.

Some folks picture God as sad, angry, or indifferent, but the truth is, He is majestic and overflowing with joy. His happiness doesn't depend on anything or anyone, and He's the only one who can truly give it to us.

Your happiness comes from God. Let's face it, there will always be reasons to cry, suffer, and feel discouraged. Yet, He's promised to be with us always, to the very end. As Jesus said, "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:20).

Happiness in God isn't just a feeling; it's about being accepted by Him, having a clean heart, and being free in His presence. Let's celebrate that amazing truth!
