I think some people think the Lord, in effect, waves a magic wand, and suddenly we are all happy. I think the reality is that the Lord teaches us how to live a life that makes us happy.

I think your on point, the closer and more we listen to Jesus the more will His joy be manifested in our life’s. 

(my thinks) :)

Blessings, 

Much love in Christ, Not me

With God we know that He is with us even in times that we are not happy. We go to Him as the Great Counselor and tell Him why we are unhappy and what is on our heart.

Maybe new Christians hope that. It’s a breaking and healing. The breaking is hard and can last long. The healing is why we are Christians.

Yeshua met a woman at the well. Firstly, He told her she had to go into relationship counseling. Then He told her she had broken several commandments and had to offer up a sin offering before He would say more.

Funny that. In ACTUALITY He offered her what she most needed - Living Water.

I don't think God removes our problems and trials.(for our happiness)
I believe He guides us through them. (for our growth/faith)
