God is not against our happiness.
But it takes a lot of time, bumps, bruises and tears before we can say this, before we realize that what we thought would make us happy are merely passing thrills that leave us either disillusioned or longing for more.
Blessed are those who wake up from this stupor, when we realize that, all along, that elusive joy isn't elusive at all; that, deep in our hearts, it is what God wants that I truly want, because God only wants for me the fullness of joy.
I am home.
