Joy and pain does exist side-by-side.

We were created to find joy in the holy Creator, but we are looking for it in the fallen creation.

Joy is something that comes as a natural outflow of having the spirit of God residing within us.

Our happiness is connected to our happenings.

Joy is … “A delight in life that runs deeper than pain or pleasure … it is not limited by nor tied solely to external circumstances. Joy is a gift from God, and like all of His other inner gifts, it can be experienced even in the midst of extremely difficult circumstances.”(Evangelical Dictionary of Theology)

Joy is a deep and enduring confidence in God.

Take time to connect with others.

Take time and make the choice to be purposefully thankful.

Worship God for who He is.

Open your heart to the God of the universe.
