Happiness of Saints in This Life is Derived From: Suffering for Christ

That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear what they fear; do not be shaken.”

But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.

If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
