Joy is better than relief (better to be happy in pain than to not be happy without pain). Joy is a feeling of happiness – an extremely desirable thing to have. Joy was the Apostles’ motive for ministry (selfishness is when you lift some personal desire above others’ best interests. But your joy is in their best interests.) Joy is not opposed to righteousness – it is required for righteousness. Get joy not by reducing suffering but though loving in ministry. The goal of ministry is spiritual growth in people which, if we love God, know how much God delights in spiritual growth in His saints, and offer our ministry as a conscious expression of love, will bring us great joy.
