Romans 14:17 " For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."
Surprisingly the word JOY is mentioned over 200 times in some forty references found in the Bible. The blessing of God to the lives of those who are citizens of God's Kingdom produces a deep-seated joy that is not dependent on health, wealth or circumstances. It is based on one's relationship with God who Himself has touched a person's life for the better.
