FOS-Joy

Joy.
"Joy to the world."
"Be joyful always."
Joy can be defined in many terms.
When I think of joy, I think of happiness.
When I got my iPod? Pure joy, or pure happiness, let's call it.
Joy is the second fruit of the spirit, the pursuit for happiness. Everyone wants to be happy.
John 15:11 
The things I have spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. 
The pursuit for happiness goes on forever. You want something, and as soon as you have it, you trash it.
You want to be fully satisifed, and no one can make that happen for you.
However, one thing can.
That thing is God.
Heaven is pure joy, golden streets, no sin, amazing.
Everyone wants to continue on the quest for joy. King Solomon conducted experiments to try and find joy. He found joy, but still was not satisfied.
How long will the humans last before we end up destroying one another? [sorry, that was totally irrelevant.]
Joy can be from evil too. People can find joy out of gunning people, like Adam Lanza, and others can find joy out of peaceful things, like nature and space like Saint Francis of Assisi.

The type of joy that a Christian should have is biblical joy.
We enjoy (see what i did there :P) reading the bible, or we should.
The bible is our gateway to talk to God. Kind of like a secret passage to talk to our ancestors.
Do you treat the bible and praying important, or do you just push it aside and think of it as a chore?
Think of it as a time machine for Christmas.
If you were going to die today, what would you do?
I would go buy a helicopter then fly to church and land on the top of the building.
However, god is alive right now and is always willing to keep you on track or help you with your life.
Are you going to YOLO or be happy with God? God can give you everything you need. Joy, heaven, love.
Everyone wants that.
Joy.
Jump for joy.
Joy to the world.
Joy makes me want to cry out in happiness.
