 What's the difference between worldly joy and godly joy? Simply put, the source. Our joy can only be as strong as its source, last as long as its source, and be as pure as its source. The things of the world are temporary, so they can only bring temporary joy. But the heavenly is eternal, and can therefore bring joy ever-flowing, overflowing. When you have the joy of the Spirit, it lasts in trials, and there's enough of it to spread to those around you. But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Do an honest evaluation. In what do you find your joy?
