Fruit of the Spirit Joy

Send us Fan MailEverybody desires joy…not just happiness…at least I hope the desire is not only happiness- But I do believe everyone desires joy- Even those individuals who select a path of self-denial that makes joy almost impossible…still do what they do to obtain joy- One thing that unites all people is the longing for joy. - It is important to recognize that joy and happiness are not the same thing. - While happiness is often based on external circumstances or fleeting moments, joy is deeper and more enduring. - My hope is that what we truly seek in life is joy, not merely happiness, because joy remains even when situations change and get harder- Jesus, Himself, endured the cross, and despised the shame, “For the joy that was set before Him.” (Hebrews 12:2)
