Psalm 105:43;45 And HE brought forth HIS people with joy, and HIS chosen with gladness:
45 That they might observe HIS statutes, and keep HIS laws.
Each time God has moved me from one city to another during my lifetime, it has been with joy and gladness.
(Before HE moves me that city that was once alive to me often goes "dead" and the hope and expectation of good is in the new city.)

James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
James 3:14-16 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

I Thessalonians 4:15-17 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all
things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to
come.
