Gym Of The Spirit: The Other Side Of Sorrow

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith."
Galatians 5:22

Joy in the midst of storm is a sure sign of God's presence. Paul and Silas found themselves in prison and in stock after the beating of their lives. Yet they sang, not sorrowfully but in joy so much so that the other prisoners heard them (Acts 16:22-25).
Joy swells up from inside, not minding and not based on the outward situations and circumstances, not like happiness that dwells on good happenings; which the world can take away.
But the joy of the Lord is for ever!
