Pascal, author of the celebrated Thoughts, has a profound thought when he says that happiness is not in us but in God.
There are, indeed, by-streams of happiness, such as
affection for others & from others, doing good to others, doing creative
work, entertaining hope for the future, sitting in the sunlight of pleasant
memories of the past. But these are only by-springs.
The real fountain & source of happiness is a state of
life & soul that is right with God & therefore, right with man.

Ps 37:4 (GNT): “Seek your happiness in the Lord, and he will
give you your heart's desire.”
“Happiness is not our being's end and aim. The Christian's aim
is perfection, not happiness; and every one of the sons of God must have
something of that spirit which marked his Master.” - F. W. Robertson.
