“People
are made for happiness. Rightly, then, you thirst for happiness. Christ
has the answer to this desire of yours. But he asks you to trust him.” –
Pope John Paul II
God wants us to be happy.
Not just superficially, not just temporarily. God wants us to have the
kind of happiness that lasts, that is full… a good measure, pressed
down, shaken together, and running over… a joy that no one could ever
steal away from you. The question isn’t whether God can give this
happiness to us. The question is, “Do we want this kind of happiness?”
“God
has created all things for good; all things for their greatest good;
everything for its own good. What is the good of one is not the good of
another; what makes one man happy would make another unhappy. God has
determined, unless I interfere with His plan, that I should reach that
which will be my greatest happiness. He looks on me individually, He
calls me by my name, He knows what I can do, what I can best be, what is
my greatest happiness, and He means to give it me.” – John Henry Newman
