'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. ' (Galatians 5:22-23) Joy. “Joy is the serious business of heaven,” C. S. Lewis. Joy isn’t just a balloon floating by in the sky. Joy is a fight with powers of evil and hopelessness. Jesus is serious about our roots of joy, knowing that His sacrifice connects us with a root of joy that nothing can rip out or take away. Your joy will be complete. Side effects may include laughter, elevated heart rate, smile lines, resilience and hopefulness.
