I'm taking it from this verse in Romans 12:12 (NIV): Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
I want to focus on being positive and bring joy to my work and home. Joy because it's a state of mind, rather than happiness which is based on a feeling.
It's wonderful to read this. I have great joy and wonder in life, and I too make a distinction between happiness and joy. Happiness is often caused by externals over which we have little or no control. Joy is something we carry with us.
