The Joy Fruit
Happiness depends on circumstances but joy depends on God!
Joy is a deep abiding in God.
Joy is about your Spiritual well being.
Joy is a state of mind or orientation of your heart.
A B C's of JOY
A - Assurance that God is in control
B- Believe that everything will turn out alright
C - Choose to Praise God in whatever circumstance you find yourself in
Joy Abides, so if you are lacking joy, check if you are abiding in Christ and staying connected to the vine.
Like a branch severed from it's trunk, are you when you are away from your source.
Away from the source you can do nothing; there is no life; no substance and no joy.
So be careful that where you hang out, those things will soon come out. So abide in Him so He is what comes out of you. Stay with Jesus!
