Joy is one of the fruits of God's Spirit which is not always fully understood or appreciated. It is not synonymous with happiness, but something much deeper and abiding that comes only by understanding the grace of God in our personal lives. Joy does not always come gift-wrapped, but through experience in all of life's chapters. As we explore the words of Jesus, Paul, and John; we will come to embrace and internalize that joy is a growing fruit of God's grace under pressure.
