"Source of Joy"
Ecclesiastes 2:25
New Living Translation
25 For who can eat or enjoy anything apart from him?
Some things are so simple that we try to make them complicated. We think, there’s no way it can be that easy! Those who have struggled to live lives of joy and fallen short have likely tried too hard and chased the wrong things.
Here's the long and the short of it: there's no joy apart from God. No career success, marital status, fame, or fortune can bring a person joy if God isn't in it. You could surround yourself with your favorite possessions, hobbies, and people,and something would still be missing. Have you looked high and low, yet still struggled to find joy in your life?
All you need is God. All the joy your heart can handle is found in Him. He provides the forever kind of joy that the world can't take away. You can walk in joy when you walk with Him.
