Joy – it is NOT a personality! It is a fruit of the Spirit. It is a gift from God.
Joy is not happiness – it is NOT dependent on our circumstances …. but a belief rooted in the deep truth of who God is.
“Real joy comes from God, who has invaded us, conquered us, and liberated us from eternal death and sadness—who has given us hope and joy because He has poured out His love within our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom He has given us (Rom. 5:5). Joy comes from God, not from within. When we look within, we just get sad. We have joy only when we look outside ourselves to Christ.
