Finding Joy in All Circumstances
In a world chasing happiness, how does one find true joy? In a faith that
promises joy as one of its benefits (Galatians 5:22), Christians should
have the market cornered on joy, but do we? What is the original meaning
of joy and what is the use of it? In this issue, contributors share
examples of joy, some hard won and at the end of a trial. We hope these
pieces will help you find the definition of joy in your own life.
