<P> Joy proceeds from the theological virtue of charity . George Campbell Morgan wrote that "Joy is love's consciousness ." In Augustine's Discourse on the Psalms he says, "We are an Easter people and our song is' Alleluia"' Noted preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon in his sermon, The Fruit of the Holy Spirit: Joy cited Psalm 144: 15, "(H) appy the people whose God is the Lord ." </P> <P> This does not mean that a person may not experience sadness on occasion through the death of a loved one, financial trouble, the actions of others, or depression; but underlying the sadness is the sure knowledge that one is still loved by God . </P> <P> Peace is the result of resting in a relationship with God . Peace is more than an absence of conflict . It is the tranquil state of a soul fearing nothing from God and content with its earthly lot, of what so ever sort that is . It is a kind of equilibrium that comes from trusting that everything is in the hands of God . </P> <P> The word "peace" comes from the Greek word eirene, the Greek equivalent for the Hebrew word shalom, which expresses the idea of wholeness, completeness, or tranquility in the soul that is unaffected by the outward circumstances or pressures . The word eirene strongly suggests the rule of order in place of chaos . When a person is dominated by peace, he has a calm, inner stability that results in the ability to conduct himself peacefully, even in the midst of circumstances that would normally be very nervewracking, traumatic, or upsetting...Rather than allowing the difficulties and pressures of life to break him, a person who is possessed by peace is whole, complete, orderly, stable, and poised for blessing . </P>
