True joy

Where to find true joy? Are you wandering where can it be found? Well... True joy is not found in anything or anyone except in Christ alone. To proof that it cannot found in anything or anyone, I'll tell about my own experience in searching for joy. When I finally resigned from my first job I thought I found joy but I didn't. When I got a job from a small auditing firm after more than three months of job hunting, I thought I found joy but I didn't. When I resigned from this second job and get hired by another firm, I thought I found joy but I didn't. In all this circumstances I had felt the temporary joy. Temporary joy? Yes temporary joy, because it gives me temporary relief from my situations, I thought I found joy but that joy that I felt was not really true joy because it didn't last. True joy last despite the good and bad circumstances and True joy can only be found in Christ.
