“Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.” Psalm 32:11
Happiness is the desire of every heart, but true happiness is only found when a person is washed in the blood of CHRIST, forgiven forever of their sins, and made righteous through Him. All other happiness is temporary and in time will fade away. “Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice”
True happiness causes the one that is blessed with its benefit to shout with uncontrollable voice. It can not be contained but will be exposed for all to see and hear. Joy is the badge of happiness. The expression of joy is always present while happiness is alive in the heart. “shout for joy”
Why settle for temporary happiness when your joy can be made full! A half empty cup is lukewarm but a cup that is full is perfect to the taste. Joy is made complete when your joy is in the LORD. “all ye that are upright in heart.”
We used to sing the song,
There is joy in my heart.
We all sang together
And when we would part.
Just a little melody
Of the joy we each did share.
Happy hearts in JESUS.
Sending happiness through the air.
“Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.” Philippians 4:4
