What is the difference between joy and happiness?

Joy runs deep and overflows, while happiness hugs hello. (Joy is not fleeting)
Joy embraces peace and gratefulness, while Happiness comes and goes casually along its way.
Joy is profound and Uniquely Scriptural in its full meaning.
Joy endures hardship and trials and connects with deeper meaning and purpose.
Joy is a choice, a practice and a behaviour birthed in The Spirit of God

Joy is deeper than emotion

"How do I find the Joy of the Lord and What is the joy of the Lord?"

The joy of the Lord is the whole sum of gladness & delight consuming your heart because you are known by God through Jesus, having been filled with the Holy Spirit

How do I experience the joy of the lord?
First, you need to know Jesus personally. It is in a personal relationship with God that joy, peace, hope, eternity, forgiveness and so many other things are given to you. The gift of salvation is the gateway to a joy-filled life.

How can I Increase my proximity to God?

Psalm 119:14-16 The Voice (VOICE)
14 I have celebrated Your testimonies as though rejoicing over an immeasurable fortune. 15 I will fix my mind on Your instructions and my eyes on Your path. 16 I will find joy in Your ordinances; I will remember Your word forever.

The Joy of the Lord shifts our hearts to a position of worship regardless of current circumstance. Overflowing Joy doesn’t change, fade, or expound based on anything we do or go through. Jesus and His Joy becomes a constant in our lives. He is a giver of life and confidence, in a tumultuous world.
