Implications: 1. True happiness does not come from the outside, but on the inside, and from God.
2. True happiness does not come without repentance. The humble (poor in spirit, mournful over sin, gentle in attitude and response) find true happiness, not the prideful (independent, callous, aggressive).
3. True happiness comes to those who believe the promises of God, who rejoice in present and future blessings of the kingdom.
