“If we don’t have firmly fixed in our minds the greatest of all spiritual realities, which is our union with Christ through faith, our joy will be weak and fragile – and so will our life and service to God.”
(Robb Brunansky – The Cripple Gate) We live in a world that is in a constant search for joy. This quest is so important and widespread that researchers often study what makes people happy, or what decreases happiness, identifying how men, women, and children can achieve happiness.
One such study found that there are three significant factors to Americans’ happiness: health, marriage, and money. These results are intriguing for our focus on the joy of the fruit of the Spirit. Yet, Paul says that joy is produced by the Spirit of God – not by your spouse, healthcare or bank statement (Galatians 5:22).
