When our lives are filled with peace, faith and joy, people will want to know what we have.
Christian joy is letting Christ live His life out through you so that what He is, you become.
Happiness is about what happens to you; and, to an extent, it's dependent on your circumstances, your behaviors, and your attitudes. But the joy of Christ is much, much bigger. The joy of Christ is about relationship with a person. It's something you have access to, but it's also something you must choose. Christian joy shows up not only in the happy times but also in times of trial and discouragement.
In a sense, we are better prepared to praise God than the angels are, for angels have never known the joy of redemption.
There are other kinds of joy found in other places in the world, but there is no place where you can find Christian joy except in Christ.
Waiting is not always a bad thing; it can bring its own joy -the thrill of anticipation.
Jesus continues to offer light, joy, and peace to today's generation.
