Circumstances vs Joy

All degres of joy reside in the heart.  How can a christian be full of happiness (if happiness depends on the things that happen) when he is in a world where the devil is doing his best to twist souls away from god, where people are tortured physically, where some are downtrodden and do not get a chance?  It would be the outcome of the most miserable selfishness to be happy under such conditions.  But a joyful heart is never an insult, and joy is never touched by external conditions. 

- Oswald Chambers -

How often am i joyful?
What is the ratio of joy to happiness in my life?
How often do i allow circumstances to determine my mood?
