If you live for any joy on earth, you may be forsaken; but, oh, live for Jesus, and he will never forsake you!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think our Savior wants us to be happy on this earth. That's why we're here is to have joy.
Who promised you that only for joy were you brought to this earth?
I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.
I truly am living out what true joy and happiness means.
To abstain from sin when one can no longer sin is to be forsaken by sin, not to forsake it.
Joy, rather than happiness, is the goal of life, for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one's identity as a being of worth and dignity.
The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.
If you hope for happiness in the world, hope for it from God, and not from the world.
I live for those who love me, for those who know me true, for the heaven so blue above me, and the good that I can do.
Joy is the serious business of Heaven.
