The Difference Between Joy and Happiness

Liquid Church

A lot of us think joy is the same thing as happiness. We often use these words interchangeably. But, from the Christian perspective, there’s actually a big difference. Happiness depends on external things going well: getting a new job, eating a delicious meal, walking along the beach holding hands with your sweetheart. But for the Christian, joy, unlike happiness, isn’t a temporary emotion. Joy is confidence in God, and it’s something that no circumstance or person can take away. That’s a huge difference!

Did you know that even suffering and joy can coexist side-by-side? Because sooner or later, we will experience suffering, and our hearts will ache, but we will still have the joy of Jesus.
