Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
Philippians 2:1-2
They key to having 'joy no matter what' is found in the person of Jesus Christ and in an attitude that is submissive to His will. The apostle Paul's joy did not center on freedom from prison (and prisons take many forms, don't they?) Rather, his joy was wrapped up in the person and promises of Christ.
