Joy says, “I’m loved.”
Happiness says, “I’m liked.”
Joy says, “I have all I need.”
Happiness says, “Keep giving.”
Joy says, “I’m not situational.”
Happiness says, “I can be persuaded.”
Joy says, “I’m fulfilled.”
Happiness says, “Give me more.”
Joy says, “I can’t earn it.”
Happiness says, “Try.”
Joy says, “I’m forgiven.”
Happiness says, “I’m trying.”
Joy says, “I’m eternal.”
Happiness says, “I’m temporal.”
Joy in the Lord greatly exceeds happiness in anything else…
Amen dude! I read something similar last night in the Christian Atheist. Joy is so much deeper and better.
What’s the link for that?
I’m sorry, it’s a chapter in Craig Groeschel’s new book, A Christian Atheist. Loved the book. Hope to have a review written later this week.
Definitely worth reading.
Gotcha. I have heard that it’s a great book. Gonna check that out.
I choose joy!
Thanks for the reminder!
I too, choose Joy. Thanks for the great post.
Thanks, Jonathan for putting concisely into words things God has put on my heart. We are publishing this in our e-newsletter (thanks again for permission) and I put it up on my facebook page (I know many people that need this timely reminder about joy).
