Righteous Roots In The HeartПримерок

JOY

Joy is a gladness of heart produced by the Holy Spirit. Joy permeates our disposition despite trial, heartache, or pain. It is an attitude of spirit that is  fixed upon eternal glories and   heavenly blessings so much that  the sorrows of earth do not cause our soul to despair. A joyful heart is a thankful heart.  Contrary to joy are despair, anxiety, anger, and envy. 

JOY in the heart says things such as: "I will rejoice when others receive good." "I will remember all God's goodness on my behalf." "I am content with God's sovereign gifts."
