Often times Christians feel guilty if they are happy. The JOY part we know about. Christian Joy is something that is not controlled by circumstances. I read in an old "Daily Bread" devotional years ago that, "Happiness depends on happenings but joy depends on Jesus. This is quite true. We can and should be joyful even in unhappy circumstances. But again, if our happiness and joy are both found in the same place, or rather the same Person; we can always have both. True Christian happiness is the joy of knowing Jesus and being found in Him.
I've been reading "More Precious Than Gold" , 50 Daily Meditations on the Psalms; by Sam Storms. I love his definition; "Happiness is the whole soul resting in God and rejoicing that such a beautiful and glorious Being is ours." ... Amen!
