God's word clearly says " JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH".
Question we need to ask ourselves whether we are joyful or happy.
When we are happy according to the world, that happiness will not last for a long time.
Happiness is always depending on our situation, if everything is going on well in our life we can be happy temporarily and when suddenly some bad news breaks in then our happiness will turn into sadness and sadness will lead us to oppression and depression.
JOY is the fruit of the HOLY SPIRIT which will grow inside us when we are doers of the word of God. Doing God's will multiplies JOY in our life.
JOY does not fade away according to the situations in our life as happiness does but JOY will remain same all the time in good times as well as bad times. Only thing which can steal our JOY is sin.
As believers we have to be joyful in every situation in our life, by doing this we will be giving up our past life of sin and will be accepting new life of holiness and righteousness destined by God for us.
