more joy, holy joy, Jesus joy, awesome joy


-->
for the joy of the LORD is your strength."
Nehemiah 8:10 NIV

Happiness is caused by things that happen around me, and circumstances will mar it; but joy flows right on through trouble; joy flows on through the dark; joy flows in the night as well as in the day; joy flows all through persecution and opposition. It is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart; a secret spring the world can't see and doesn't know anything about. The Lord gives his people perpetual joy when they walk in obedience to him.
D.L. Moody

Happiness depends on what happens; joy does not.
Oswald Chambers
