Joy!

"and NO ONE can take your joy from you!"    

 ~ John16:22

*No matter what happens as long as you center your self in Christ no one can take away your joy. Joy is a state of being, it is not a feeling that one has. Feelings are things such as happy or sad. You can be joyful yet have moments of sadness. Joy is a mindset and a state. The oppostie of joy is sorrow. Sorrow comes with not focusing your life on Christ and not letting him be the center of your life. As long as you keep Christ at the center and allow your joy to spawn from him, then no one can take that away. So if you are currently living in sorrow, then ask yourself, where do you find your joy? And what did you lose in order to have that taken away from you? If you lost your joy its because it was taken from you so that you may find true joy in Jesus Christ. Once you have found that joy in Christ, you can never lose it!
