Happiness meets surface needs.

Joy meets your deepest needs.

Happiness is like a thermometer.

It registers conditions.

Joy is like a thermostat.

It regulates conditions.

Now, happiness many times evaporates and disappears in times of suffering.

But joy frequently intensifies in times of suffering.

Joy intensifies and often, as we see from the scripture,

is intertwined with suffering.

Now, happiness always works best and there's nothing wrong with being happy.

But happiness always functions best when happiness is rooted in joy.

Now, friend, if you have joy and then you overlay that joy with happiness,

that's a wonderful thing.

From the Love We're Fighting Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, I'm Byron Tyler.

Carrie, today's message with Adrian Rogers, joy is an inside job taken from Galatians 522.

And you know, Carrie, happiness depends on circumstances and external things.

But joy is an inside job and it really comes from within.

Yes, it does.

Hey, joy, Jesus, others, yourself.

Well, that's a great acrostic there.
