Happiness comes when things go our way. When we get a job, win a game, the weather is nice, have a good meal, etc., we feel happy. But joy is not connected to external circumstances. In fact, we can have joy even when everything is not going our way or even in the midst of extreme difficulty!
Joy is recognizing the reality of Christ in our life and placing ultimate value on that! Joy is the overflow of a heart that is dependent on Jesus. The greatest evidence of true joy is difficulty. When a believer goes through a difficult situation, they can reach around the specific situation and experience the joy of the Lord.
Be joyful today!
