What Is JOY?

Biblical joy is a deep inner gladness of the heart that comes from knowing, experiencing, and trusting Jesus. It is a gift from God that enables us to respond to external circumstances with inner contentment and satisfaction. It is inexplicably linked to suffering and continually contrasted with sorrow, but it is also gospel-driven, Spirit-empowered, and heaven-focused. See Nehemiah 8:10, Galatians 5:22, Zephaniah 3:17

REAL JOY

John 14:23

The earth was dark through misapprehension of God. That the gloomy shadows might be lightened, that the world might be brought back to God, Satan's deceptive power was to be broken. This could not be done by force. The exercise of force is contrary to the principles of God's government; He desires only the service of love; and love cannot be commanded; it cannot be won by force or authority. Only by love is love awakened. To know God is to love Him; His character must be manifested in contrast to the character of Satan. This work only one Being in all the universe could do. Only He who knew the height and depth of the love of God could make it known. Upon the world's dark night the Sun of Righteousness must rise, "with healing in His wings." Malachi 4:2. Desire Of Ages p. 22.1
