Psalm 23:6

Psalm 23
 English Standard Version (ESV)

  The 6th verse doesn't say that happiness will follow you -- it says goodness.  Life won't always be easy and there will be plenty of bumps in the road, but when we align ourselves with God's grace, allowing the anxieties and fears fall away, ignoring the false idols that distract us and steal our attention and our energy, we come to a deeper understanding of how God's love pursues us and shelters us in ways that aren't always obvious.  As our faith matures, we recognize that our eternal life has already begun and death is a defeated shadow, no threat to us, and our dwelling place is with God, here and now and always and forever, no matter what.
