Let Your Heart Overflow with Joy

Happiness is different from joy. Joy is a daily choice that comes from God. Christ's joy is unlike any happiness that the world could offer. Jesus did not pray that you would be happy; happiness is only a temporary state of mind. Jesus prayed that you would have the same joy that the Father gave to him. Joy comes from a deep relationship with God. If there is anything that should characterize the life of a Christian, it is joy!
