The Mark of Joy
The apostle Paul was concerned about the joy of the church at Galatia, he asked: "What has happened to all your joy? ...” (Gal. 4:15). Joy vs. Happiness - Joy is better than happiness. Happiness depends upon happenings. It comes from the word "hap" which means "luck, happenstance"; you're just lucky, fortunate, and happy. Happiness is external; joy is internal. Happiness is based on circumstances and when they change you're not happy anymore; joy is based on Christ. Happiness is based on chance; joy is based on choice. As a Christian, you can choose joy. In Paul’s letter to the Philippians he taught them to find their joy in the Lord at all times. We can know the joy that depends on the Lord and not on our circumstances.
