"A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." Proverbs 17:22
Whenever I think of what joy looks like, I think of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. If you are unfamiliar with him as his story then look it up. He is a man who has walked a path where the sadness of suffering and torture could have turned him into a very bitter and angry person. His story is so significant because through the horrors and suffering that he has seen, he has been able to come out the other side still able to see the good in the world and the people who inhabit it.
Joy and happiness and similar, but also very different. Happiness is a reaction to the good things around you. Joy is a happiness that isn't dependant on the things around you. You could be going through a really rough time and still be joyful. You may have spilt sauce down your favourite white T-shirt, stepped a puddle slightly deeper than the sides of your shoes soaking your socks, and your cat may have brought a dead bird in under your bed that you have only just found but have been smelling for a couple of weeks, but still have joy!
This kind of joy is found in the things that don't change. God! To get this joy, look to him when times get rough and when they are great. Spend more time with Him and this joy will creep into your life and before you know it, somehow the things of this world don't seem too bad anymore.
