The Fruit of the Spirit – JOY
We often confuse joy with happiness. I think it may be better equated with contentedness and a deeper satisfaction of the soul. Happiness depends on circumstance; joy does not. Happiness is a feeling that is in many ways beyond your control. You can’t be happy about everything, but you can have joy in all things. …
