Hey what's going on everyone, I hope you're doing well today. In my second video on the Fruit of the Spirit, I've been thinking through the notion of what joy looks like in all circumstances and how to be able to maintain it and have it and ascertain it even when life doesn't seem like there's anything to be joyful about. Now typically you hear people talk about the difference between joy and happiness, right? Joy is a decision, happiness is circumstantial and can vary based on whatever position in which one finds themselves. But the idea that links into joy is one that I think is kind of overlooked, especially when we equate it with the notion of suffering, being able to have joy in suffering, not just like when life is hard or not just when life is uncomfortable or difficult, but like those moments where you are at the wit's end, that you are in the abyss and can't seem to find your way out. How do you then choose joy, right? This is a question that I'm wrestling with in times where I don't necessarily even have all the answers. So I would love to hear from you in the DMs, how do you choose joy when you're walking through kind of that abyss season where you're in the midst of the most difficult moments trying to make stuff count? Yeah, shoot me a message. Let me know.
