Happiness is unshakable Holiness, the special grace of being God's Beloved, a sacrifice that we can never make, that is given to us through Messiah.
To know that every wrong we have done has been forgiven.
To know that every wrong that we have suffered will be made right.
To know that we will be made perfect in every way by the once and for all supreme sacrifice of Messiah.
To believe beyond a shadow of doubt, though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, that the Lord is with us.
Indeed, this belief, this faith, this truth, that makes every man happy, joyous, and free!
I am happy, nay joyous because . . .
אני מאמין Ani ma'amin
Why?
וצדיק באמונתו יחיה׃
The just shall live by faith, or the one justified by faith lives!
and
ואני ביהוה אעלוזה אגילה באלהי ישעי׃
I rejoice in the God of my Salvation!
L'shanah Tovah!
