The happiness of the spirit is far above the happiness of the flesh, for the happiness of the spirit is something that will always be there for you. The loneliest nights or the darkest clouds can't take it away from you.

The happiness of the flesh is fleeting. It comes and goes with your mood and surroundings, with the physical things that you see and feel, but the happiness of the spirit comes from knowing that I am your Savior and that I care for you. Those truths never change.

The happiness that I give is as constant as the sun. When the sun disappears beneath the horizon at night, do you worry that it's gone forever? No, you realize that it is constant, always there. Though the night comes and you cannot see the sun, you never doubt its existence or that it will rise the next morning. So is the happiness of the spirit; it's ever-present, like the sun.

When darkness settles on your spirit and you lose sight of the happiness I have promised, that is the time to trust until morning, until you see and feel the sunshine of My love again. Never doubt--the dawn will come!
