True joy is not based on the happenings of positivity. It is God’s nature produced in us by God’s spirit and as a result is spiritual. This clearly exemplifies that there is a difference between worldly joy and heavenly joy- ‘’the happiness of the world and the joy of the Lord. James writes this out in James 1:2
‘’Count it all joy my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds’’
No matter the core of hardship the joy of the Lord should every be radiated in our lives Heb12:2 and never depart
‘’Who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross despising the shame and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God
Joy is the coordinating virtue among the nine fruit of the Holy Ghost. It is the centralization and the end of faith.
