The Lord wants you to rejoice; be happy; that you live with the joy that He gives you; that you try to reflect the character of Jesus; that you live in peace with others; that you love him and love them ... as he loves. And all that is the result of a life connected with the Savior and of the work that the Holy Spirit does within you. He changes your thoughts and elevates them. It gives you the right perspective of life, without which you can never be really happy.
