ROMANS 14:17
Joy is not happiness. Joy describes the inner peace coming from true contentment with the Lord, present in a person whether happy or sad.
Christian author C. S. Lewis titled his autobiography ‘Surprised by Joy.’ He believed that joy was a key part of the Christian life, one too often neglected.
Christianity has a reputation for being the killjoy faith designed to keep people from enjoying their lives. The scriptures promise us joy – not a temporary satisfaction, but something that endures through both good and bad days.
