---INWARD JOY that comes from knowing and trusting God and HAPPINESS that comes as a result of pleasant circumstances.
Inward joy is lasting; happiness is temporary.
You see, there's a BIG difference.
True joy is far deeper than happiness; we can feel joy in spite of our deepest troubles. Happiness is temporary because it is based on external circumstances, but joy is lasting because it is based on GOD'S PRESENCE WITHIN US.
Happiness is unpredictable.
Inward joy is steady as long as we trust God.
Inward joy defeats discouragement; happiness covers it up.
Without God's presence, joy is impossible to experience.
Joy is present ONLY in God's presence. That's the truth.
And only His presence brings PEACE AND SECURITY in our hearts.
As we contemplate His daily presence, we will find contentment.
As we understand the future He has for us, we will experience joy.
Do not base your life on circumstances.
Find out the joy and benefits of a life lived in companionship with God.
Psalm 4:7
'You have filled my heart with GREATER JOY...' ❀◕ ‿ ◕❀
