Psalm 32:10

Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but he who trusts in and relies on the Lord shall be surrounded with compassion and lovingkindness. Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous (who actively seek right standing with Him); shout for joy, all you upright in heart.

The closer we get to the Lord, the stronger we can feel His love for us. When we diligently see His wisdom and guidance, we show our faith in Him and His Word. We are to be glad and joyful over our relationship with God as we keep standing with Him.
