joy

"Then after Moses grew up, his faith made him refuse to be called Pharaoh's grandson. He chose to be mistreated with God's people instead of having the good time that sin could bring for a little while. Moses knew that the treasures of Egypt were not as wonderful as what he would receive from suffering for the Messiah, and he looked forward to his reward." Hebrews 11:24-26
Ok, replace "Moses" with "your name" and "Egypt" with "this world" or "Texas" or "Dallas" or whatever place you lay your head at night. Ain't nothin' like the goodness that comes from above, that's joy and this world ain't got a clue what that is.
"Nothing gives the believer so much joy as fellowship with Christ. He has enjoyment as others have in the common mercies of life.... but in all these separately, yea, and in all of them added together, he doth not find such substantial delight as in the matchless person of his Lord Jesus." -Spurge
