Peace Love and Happiness

So I was reading Psalms 119, which is the longest chapter in the Bible. Here's verses 1-2.
"Happy are people of integrity, who follow the law of the Lord. Happy are those who obey His decrees and search for Him with all of their hearts."

Now, I was thinking . . . what goes along with happiness?? Peace and love of course :D

Luke 1:79 says
"Jesus will give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadows of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."

Then 1 John 4:16 says "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him."

Now, if you know me, you know I love "peace, love, and happiness". I love it more when my best friend does the "motions" that go along with it :D But I never really thought about what the term actually means. But with the verses above, this is what I find the 3 words to mean:

Peace- When God shows us light, and calms us. It's when we just let go, and let God control whatever situation we are in.

Love- Love is being with God. When everything seems to be going wrong, its having that knowledge that God is going to show us a way out. It's when we surrender to God, and let Him know that we trust in Him.

Happiness- Having joy in our lives. Knowing that everything is taken care of, and just knowing God is there.

Peace, love, and happiness!
