Happiness vs True Joy

I have just started reading Shattered Dreams by Larry Crabb. In his book Dr. Crabb talks about why God sometimes has to shatter some of our life's dreams in order to give us what only He knows is best for us. I came across this passage in the chapter called the Rhythm Of Hope.

Happy people do not love well. Joyful people do. That's why
happiness, the pleasant feelings that pleasant circumstances generate, must be
taken away in order to be replaced by joy. Happy people rarely look for joy.
They're quite content with what they have. The foundation of their life consists
of the blessings they enjoy. In His severe mercy, God takes away the good to create an appetite for the better.
God's best is only available to those who sacrifice, or who are
willing to sacrifice, the merely good. If we are satisfied with
good health, responsible children, enjoyable marriages, close friendships,
interesting jobs, and successful ministries, we will never hunger for God's best...we will never worship. I've come to believe that only
broken people truly worship. Unbroken people -- happy folks who enjoy their
blessings more than the Blesser -- say thanks to God the way a shopper thanks a
clerk.

This is me most of the time. I waste so much time seeking my best -- my best plans, my best dreams, my best comfort. The vast majority of my waking hours are spent dwelling on short term comfort instead of eternal joy. Thank God for His patience. I hope I can learn to truly thank Him for loving me so well that He can endure the pain of giving me what I NEED as opposed to what I WANT.
