“the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23
True Joy is an intrinsic quality birthed by Love. It is a fruit of the spirit and is the precursor of Peace. It is evidenced by a confident assurance that is only found in God. It is the axis on which genuine happiness turns.
In fact, genuine happiness is the by-product of True Joy. It is not contingent upon outward circumstances.
It increases and gets stronger through adversity because a Spirit of Joy is fueled by gratitude and is NEVER governed by loss. That is why Joy is the Supernatural remedy for any great tragedy.
