Webster's Dictionary defines joy as an emotion brought on by well-being, success, or good future. It is a state of happiness or bless; a source or cause of delight. The Bible further identifies joy through a wide range of experiences and emotions, such as gladness, calm delight, and rejoicing. In a world that often demands more than it gives, joy can seem so elusive. Relationships end. Your loved ones become sick or injured. Money problems. Car troubles. Work issues. Sometimes you want one thing to go your way for once. You want your moment to dance in the sun and shout. You want joy. Jesus came to the earth so that you can have an abundant life. He came so that you might experience joy-a joy that only He can give and one that no one can take from you. I wrote Joy: The Eternal Gift of God as a short discourse on how you can experience the fullness of joy. This book will address several obstacles from having joy and how you can find and keep your joy in the midst of stressful situations.
