The second fruit of the Spirit is Joy. Sometimes we do not understands the meaning of joy so it is hard for us to experience what joy is like in our lives.
As Christians, our joy is not found in material possessions or accomplishments; rather, it is found in our Savior, Jesus Christ. What Is Joy? Many people confuse joy with happiness or a feeling of excitement. The Bible, emphasizes not happiness but joy. Joy is greater than happiness or excitement. Happiness can easily change with a person’s mood and circumstances. Joy, does not depend on our feelings toward our situation, so it should not be easily shaken. Joy is about how we chose to respond and the attitude we have. So where do we find our joy? We can find complete joy only in God. It is important to cultivate joy in our lives, even when we are not feeling happy. This does not mean we should fake or hide our emotions. Instead, it means that we can chose to pursue Jesus and the joy we can find in Him in all of our circumstances. Our relationship with Jesus is our greatest joy. He gave His life for us so that we could have a relationship with Him.
