Hey JOY!

A job promotion. A gift. A reunion with family or friends. An exam passed. A new gadget. An increase in sales. An answered prayer. Things that make us happy.
But most of the time, we don't get these things. A lot of times, we experience failure, disappointment, an unanswered prayer. Can we still be happy?
We may try to.
We may fake it.
We may...
But the truth is, we don't.
Because being happy is circumstantial. It is ignited by the external.



Try JOY.

Have you met someone who, despite being in a crisis still exudes happiness?
It is actually joy!

What's the difference?

Happiness is a product of our situation or our circumstances in life.
JOY comes out of our surrender to God.

Happiness is based on our feelings.
JOY is based on our gratitude.

Happiness is motivated by the external.
JOY is motivated from within.

In times of crises, our happiness will shift to sadness and despair.
But our JOY transforms into peace.

With Happiness, we can survive.
With JOY, we can thrive!

Why just be happy when we can choose JOY!
