As Mr. Chambers says, joy is not necessarily happiness. But happiness brings out joy. And happiness, at times, comes from a sense of satisfaction or fulfillment out of doing something right.
If we can attain a level of love or "perfect understanding of God, and in the same fellowship and oneness with Him," we would also find joy in "absolute surrender and self-sacrifice to God."
I was thinking the Korean word, "도리," and made a lot of sense to me. It's not obligation, more like duty but for something universally right.
I have been blessed by many lives. I, too, hope to be blessing to others and live my life ... "hidden with Christ in God."
