Deuteronomy 15:10

The LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.

1 Thessalonians 4:11

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands.

Psalm 90:14

Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

happiness is nice, but its temporary.

joy is something different altogether.

JOY

is a constant.

it's not dependent on circumstances

or people

but rather on a heart issue.

happiness is external;

joy is internal.

joy can be tucked deep in the heart,

even in difficult circumstances.

-Karol Ladd
