God desires you to be joyful, because He Himself is joyful. But how do we find this joy, and what is it? Is there a difference between happiness, joy, and gladness? And what ways does God give us to find true, deep, and lasting joy and happiness in life?In this sermon, we are reminded that above every other human being on the planet, YOU will influence yourself more than any other person. But rather than just telling ourselves what we should do ("stop doing that," "try harder," etc.), we need to learn how to teach ourselves HOW to do the things we want to do. This takes learning how to preach to our hearts so that our heart's desires change.
