Pleasure verus Joy

I was looking at the comparison of two things today… I want this to be thought provoking. I am expecting yall to go to my blog page and talk this one up. I am going to talk on the comparison of what I call Jesus Joy and pleasure. So many people get joy and pleasure twisted when there is a difference. Joy is a supernatural thing and pleasure is superficial.. You with me? Ok.. Look over the things that have given you pleasure over the years… Where they constant? Did the source of your pleasures change? I used to find pleasure in video games once upon a time, After a while it got old. I’ve had relationships that gave me pleasure.. They didn’t last. The one thing that has been a constant for me is the joy that I have from God. I also have had some things that gave me pleasure that became excess. I got too much of it.. Too much of the chocolate chips.. Too many crab legs.. You know eating so much that you got sick from them .. To the point that the sight of them made you sick… Some of you would say that you had too much of a girl or guy that the site of them made you sick.. That is because they were strictly a pleasure and not a joy. (LOL) It could be because they changed or you changed but the joy that God gives never changes because HE never changes.. I hear that song “Jesus the same, yesterday, today, forevermore…..”  ( By the way that is scripture.. Look in Hebrews..)The more I sing it something bubbles up on the inside of me because I truly can relate to the joy that I have.. God did it! My praise has a purpose!… I’m talking a life of bliss.. Someone reading this needs to exchange some of their pleasures for some REAL JOY…
