Joy is one of the fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5 : 22-23).
Joy is a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.
Joy is settled assurance that God is in control of all the details of our life.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.
Don't allow anything to steal your joy, when you loose your joy, you loose your strength.
Philippians 4 : 4( rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice).
Romans 15 : 13 ( may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust him).
Joy is a virtue that has unlimited capacity to provoke peace and success in the life of its carrier.
Joy is the trigger for accomplishment in life.
You need to be joyful in order to be successful.
Not only do you need joy to be successful, you equally need to be joyful to maintain that success.
Joy is the pathway to exploit on the earth. It is God's mystery for taking you to the top.
THIEVES OF JOY

Depression is Satan's trap for stealing your joy, so he can steal your colourful destiny.
(Proverbs 17: 22) A merry heart doeth good like a medicine, but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
