Pleasure vs. Joy

I have said for many years that the world can ONLY give us happiness, which is fleeting, at best. Only the soul can hold the JOY which alone can be received from loving our Glorious Triune God and keeping His Commandments. We should be glad when life gives us good happiness, however, we need to strive to know and KEEP the JOY that can only come from God, Himself.

I pray that all who have ever touched my life in anyway good, bad, alive, dead, past, present and future receive the peace, comfort, love, hope, mercy and JOY that only HE can give!
