Joy is something that everyone desires.
Philippians 4:4, Habakkuk 3:18, Psalm 64:10 and Romans 5:11 have something great in common.
What do all these scriptures have in common?
The phrase “joy in God”!
“Your unhappiness is due not to a want of something outside of you,
but to a want of something inside you. You were made for perfect happiness. No wonder everything short of God disappoints you.”
-Fulton Sheen
Sheen’s words are so true. God is the ultimate fulfillment of our joy.
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
John 15:11
Stop trying to find joy in temporary worldly things.
When you find your joy in God, it will be constant and complete.
Like a dog who is always excited to see his owner, so God feels about spending time with you, and you will feel when you find your joy in God.
