John Newton Quotes

Whoever possesses God is happy.

Happiness can be found neither in ourselves nor in external things, but in God and in ourselves as united to him.

Those who are wholly God's are always happy.

Joy is not in things; it is in us.

Blessed be God that Thou hast filled the soul of Thy servant with joy and peace in believing.

At the end of the day, if you are not happy, no one can make you happy.

Divine love is perfect peace and joy, it is a freedom from all disquiet, it is all content and happiness; and makes everything to rejoice in itself.

Happiness is neither within us, nor without us. It is in the union of ourselves with God.

Desire to see God, be fearful of losing Him, and find joy in everything that can lead to Him. If you act in this way, you will always live in great peace.

I'm ensconced in the soul … and I look around and everything is love.

There's no greater lifestyle and no greater happiness than that of having a continual conversation with God.

To work with God's happiness bubbling in the soul is to carry a portable paradise within you wherever you go.

There is a joy which is not given to the ungodly, but to those who love Thee for Thine own sake, whose joy Thou Thyself art. And this is the happy life, to rejoice to Thee, of Thee, for Thee; this it is, and there is no other.

Happiness is a vine that takes root and grows within the heart, never outside it.

We have God's joy in our blood.

It's what's in *yourself* that makes you happy or unhappy.

The only unhappiness is not to love God.

Whenever you feel happiness it is always from the inner. Then mind immediately jumps in and takes control and says, 'It is because of me.' When you are in love, it is like death, you feel blissful. Immediately mind comes in and says, 'Okay, this is me, this is because of me.'

Happiness is not the natural state of mankind, and is never achieved from the outside in.

We may not be able to give much but we can always give the joy that springs in a heart that is in LOVE WITH GOD.

No love of the natural heart is safe unless the human heart has been satisfied by God FIRST

But does not happiness come from the soul within?

Joy has come to live with me. How can I be sad? I do so love Thy presence, which is joy within me.

Nothing outside of ourselves will ever make us happy, because happiness is an inside-out experience.

If the ingredients for happiness are not within a person, no material success or entertainment or platinum credit cards can make that person smile.
