“Guard your heart above all else, for it determines
the course of your life.” ~ Proverbs 4:23

Happiness is not the same as joy.

Happiness depends on circumstances. Joy is above circumstances.
Happiness is like a roller-coaster going up and down, even by the moment. Joy is like a deep well that never runs dry.
Happiness is external. Joy is internal.
Happiness comes from what happens to me. Joy comes from Yeshua the Messiah Who lives in me.
Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
` ~ Habakkuk 3:17-18
