- Christianity
• This Series: We all get squeezed by life, whether it’s an irritating driver, co-worker, neighbor, or anyone else who gets on our nerves. We all face frustrating life events such as car problems, unexpected bills, unmet expectations, or an end of a relationship. When we get squeezed by life, something WILL come out of us. It will either sweet or it will be sour. What comes out depends on how close we are walking with the Spirit.
• This Week: We all love to be HAPPY. But happiness is fleeting because it’s situational. Joy, however, is better than happy because joy is a choice. The difficult situation may not be enjoyable, but joy will carry us through the situation. Joy only comes from walking with the Spirit. Joy is a deep satisfaction in our souls. It’s connected to a peace beyond understanding. Joy reminds us that God is in control and that He loves us.
Key Phrase: “The fruit of the Spirit is… joy…” Galatians 5:22
