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! This devotional helps you seek God and search your heart, with the ultimate result of finding true joy that no life circumstance can take away. Author Carolyn Joy has made a conscious effort to seek God-given joy. She promotes writing scriptures pertaining to joy and embedding God's Word in your heart. Your heart is the key to experiencing joy. Don't be satisfied with a joyless life. Only God can fill your heart with true joy.
