The Difference Between Joy and Happiness
from Liquid Church · host Liquid Church
A lot of us think joy is the same thing as happiness. We often use these words interchangeably. But, from the Christian perspective, there’s actually a big difference. Happiness depends on external things going well: getting a new job, eating a delicious meal, walking along the beach holding hands with your sweetheart. But for the Christian, joy, unlike happiness, isn’t a temporary emotion. Joy is confidence in God, and it’s something that no circumstance or person can take away. That’s a huge difference! Did you know that even suffering and joy can coexist side-by-side? Because sooner or later, we will experience suffering, and our hearts will ache, but we will still have the joy of Jesus. Watch this message from Pastor Cuyler Black and discover how you can experience joy in your own life! #ExperienceJoy #JoyofJesus #LiquidChurch
