I translated this again, so if you see any errors - just move along pls?
C.S. Lewis said: Joy is the serious business of heaven. God is really, serious about Joy!
That is why Paul writes in Phil 4, that we must be happy! His meaning is not that we must walk around with this
stupid grin on our faces, when we are battling with inner fears, worries etc. Or that we must be ignorant...
Paul is trying to say that we must have joy in the right relationships. First thing every day we must go get our
piece of joy from God, then we must find the joy in our relationships, if it is in our partners, family or friends.
To find joy in God and the people around us, changes the texture of life. That's the reason we must live slow enough to make time for relationships that brings us joy!
Phil 4:4-6
