Guest lnj Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 And to have the Joy of the Lord (the knowledge you will spend eternity..with God), bears you up through the hard times and can give one a peace, in times of total disarray and turmoil. I have seen this with my sister, who suffered greatly but has a peace and joy only obtained through having the Joy of the Lord.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have a job that supports me and pays my bills I only have to work 2 twelve hour shifts a week, the rest of the time I use for Bible study and working out My relationship with my dad is the Best because we both admitted we made mistakes and we both love Christ I don’t live like a rockstar, but I don’t need for anything ( the Lord provides) and as he says “ I knew you before I put you in the womb”) God has a plan for my life as well as all of us., Happiness to me I’d being content with what I have and in my Fathers Embrace. That is happiness to me SHALOM❤️ Edited November 17, 2021 by MrBear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you attained true happiness? These two questions can make all difference in our life. And I add two more question: If you aren't happy, who or what are precluding you of reaching the joy? Why are you doing what you are doing if this don't make you happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could spend your life chasing it, and if you ever did catch it, you would just end up killing it Much more sustainable, and enduring is the Joy of the Lord. Enjoy the happy moments, but dwell in the joy of the Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
