Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalms 37:4
He said with a flourish
A wave of happiness washed over me
His face was open and kind
A moment of pure crushing happiness
The warmth of his gaze seemed to penetrate my skin
A triumphant air
Radiant happiness
Joyful alacrity (brisk and cheerful readiness)
Praise from him made my heart flutter unexpectedly
She was deeply thoughtful, kind and angelic
He watched with excited shock
Her eyes sparkled with kindness and good humour as she spoke
A sharply edged euphoria
Grim satisfaction
I saw a glint of satisfaction in her eyes
We exchanged excited glances
His eyes were glowing with excitement and delight
A swell of satisfaction
Wild pleasure
Dizzying sense of pleasure
She bristles with pleasure
A shiver of pleasure
Breathless with excitement
An electric pulse went through my bones
Dizzy with excitement
Her eyes flared with excitement
She bubbled over with enthusiasm
Her face was dazzled with happiness.
A jolt of pleasure
A cry of delight
Hope spiralled up inside
I glow a little at the compliment
She felt a stirring in her chest
Her heart was suddenly singing
Her heart soared
