Beloved–Which is better happiness or joy?

1. delighted, pleased, or glad, as over a particular thing: to be happy to see a person.
2. characterized by or indicative of pleasure, contentment, or joy: a happy mood; a happy frame of mind.

Joy [joi] noun (a statement of fact)

1. the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure;elation: She felt the joy of seeing her son’s success.
2. a source or cause of keen pleasure or delight; something or someone greatly valued or appreciated: Her prose style is a pure joy.

I know I can’t always be in a happy frame of mind because my circumstances are ever changing.  I can always find joy in all situations because I know the source of my joy is never changing.  Happiness is fleeting, joy is permanent…it’s my choice.

Psalm 30:5b    Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.   I am praying for you to KNOW JOY in tears or in smiles.

Luv Ya!
