There isn’t one verse in the Bible telling us there is happiness ahead! His word is replete with comfort by reminding us He’s always there, He is our strength, He gives us rest, etc., but nothing about a happy land existence.
Leaders of the LDS Church use phrases as if they’re writing a script for Disneyland.
Take care beloved that you stay in His word, and worship only Him who brings true peace!

“An High Priest of Good Things to Come”, Liahona and Ensign, November 1999 “Don’t you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven. But for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come. It will be all right in the end. Trust God and believe in good things to come.” — Jeffrey R. Holland
