The pursuit of happiness

It is one of the unalienable rights recognized in the Declaration of Independence.

Some will find it, others will not.

Those who do will discover that happiness is fleeting, something that rises or falls with circumstances.

Joy is different.

Joy enters our lives by grace.

It is the fruit of God's work in our lives.

It is His joy in us.

Unlike happiness, joy endures. It remains regardless of circumstances.

Jesus put it this way, no one will take away your joy.

Pursue happiness. that's your right.

But Whether you find it or not, in Christ you will always know the joy of the Lord.

And that is your strength.
