I've always loved that quote. I kind of think that the purest form of love is a desire for the loved person to be happy. It's encouraging to know that God loves us and wants us to be happy - that happiness is the reason we're alive.
People sometimes define happiness different ways, and search for happiness in various places. I've been guilty of that. But because God loves us, He hasn't left of to search for happiness on our own. He has given us commandments to guide us along the path of happiness. The more I think about it, the more I think that all that God does, He does to make us happy.
Life isn't always happy. Sometimes we have to take the good with the bad. And sometimes, we make our own unhappiness by going against the commandments of God. But in either case, it's comforting to know that God has made a plan for our happiness, and that He does everything in His power to make it possible for us to follow it.
