When circumstances are good, we may be happy. When circumstances are bad, we may be sad. However, joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives and is activated by faith. Joy comes by doing things God’s way. Happiness comes to by doing things man’s way. It is a mistake to believe that material things bring joy. They may bring happiness for a short time but they do not bring lasting joy… "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" (Philippians 4 :4). Joy is when we allow the Lord to possess our lives rather than allowing our possessions to control us. We often focus on what we don’t have or what others have and we allow the obsession to steal the real joy in our lives. Being thankful is the miraculous formula to keeping the joy of our redemption. Thankfulness has everything to do with joy. If we are not thankful, we will not have joy... "As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things." (2 Corinthians 6:10). Joy and sin simply do not occupy the same space. When Adam sinned, he could no longer face God. What a sad day when sin entered man's heart. Joy was lost! Serving the Lord with joy and gladness is absolutely impossible if sin lies at the door of the heart. Joy is also lost when fear takes root ! Why we are afraid while we are under God's protective wings? How can anyone under God's protective wings allow their joy and gladness to wither? No wonder Saint Paul could say, " I am filled with comfort. I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation." (2 Corinthians 7:4). Joy is inner contentment, calm delight and cheerfulness. If we finish our life’s race with joy without being disqualified, we have joy on entering heaven. Joy goes much deeper because it comes from a much deeper source; God Him self. Joy that we receive at redemption is described as inexpressible which means unutterable and unspeakable.

And you will have joy

(Luke 1:14)

� Joy and happiness are vital to a fulfilling life, they are not the same. Happiness is based on our circumstances. When circumstances are good, we may be happy. When circumstances are bad, we may be sad. However, joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives and is activated by faith. Joy comes by doing things God’s way. Happiness comes to by doing things man’s way. It is a mistake to believe that material things bring joy. They may bring happiness for a short time but they do not bring lasting joy… "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" (Philippians 4 :4).

� Joy is when we allow the Lord to possess our lives rather than allowing our possessions to control us. We often focus on what we don’t have or what others have and we allow the obsession to steal the real joy in our lives. Being thankful is the miraculous formula to keeping the joy of our redemption. Thankfulness has everything to do with joy. If we are not thankful, we will not have joy... "As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things." (2 Corinthians 6:10).

� Joy and sin simply do not occupy the same space. When Adam sinned, he could no longer face God. What a sad day when sin entered man's heart. Joy was lost! Serving the Lord with joy and gladness is absolutely impossible if sin lies at the door of the heart. Joy is also lost when fear takes root ! Why we are afraid while we are under God's protective wings? How can anyone under God's protective wings allow their joy and gladness to wither? No wonder Saint Paul could say, " I am filled with comfort. I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation." (2 Corinthians 7:4).

� Joy is inner contentment, calm delight and cheerfulness. If we finish our life’s race with joy without being disqualified, we have joy on entering heaven. Joy goes much deeper because it comes from a much deeper source; God Him self. Joy that we receive at redemption is described as inexpressible which means unutterable and unspeakable. It is so wonderful that it cannot be described fully... “Yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory.” (1 Peter 1:8).
