Question:
If I’m not experiencing joy in my life am I having too much fun doing other things?

Answer:
Joy is part of the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22). Joy only comes from God, and if we lose our joy, only God can restore it (Psalm 51:12).

We may not always be happy in this world, but we can rejoice in the hope we have of Christ’s coming to take us to heaven and to set the world

right. Going through trials gives us the opportunity to show others that we trust in the Lord. Trials are tests of our faith, and these tests are precious, more than gold . . .  (1 Peter 1:6, 7).
