A Test
Did you ever hear the saying, 'Happiness depends on happenings, but joy depends on Jesus'? It's one of those sayings that makes you say, "Hmmmmm....."
Do a quick test:
What makes you smile?
A refreshing ice cream cone?
A perfect score?
A perfect score?
A sunrise?
What makes you laugh?
An evening with friends?
A questionable joke?
An internet video?
A questionable joke?
An internet video?
What brings you joy - true, Godly, warms-you-to-the-heart, Joy?
A precious baby?
An answered prayer?
A victory after battle?
Can you feel the difference? Smiling and laughing touch us on the surface. Joy reaches deep in to the heart. Trey shared joy everywhere he went - chemo, check ups, surgeries, etc. Strength from the Lord could be seen in Trey's life. It made Trey - and those around him - feel better! :)
How are you and those around you feeling today?
"A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." Proverbs 17:22
