Happiness depends on what happens TO you. Joy depends on who God IS.
In this video, I share what the Bible actually teaches about joy — and why it has nothing to do with your circumstances. When I was losing my eyesight, walking through my husband’s cancer, and wrestling with depression, I had to learn this the hard way: happiness fades, but joy can hold you steady through anything.
Listen to this from James 1:2-4 — “Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.” That verse changed everything for me.
We’ll talk about the difference between joy and happiness, why God allows trials, and how to choose joy even when life hurts.
If you’re in a hard season right now, this word is for you,my friend.
