Hello everyone, I trust that you are fine.
So I want to give this information about Joy. Joy is something that happens to your inner self, and it makes you see the reason to live and not worry about anything. Joy is very different from happiness; it gives you the strength to pull through hard times, knowing that the future is bright.
Joy comes because of the hope you have; if there is no hope, then there will be no joy. If today is rough, then tomorrow will be good. There is this feeling I have whenever I know that the future is bright, and this gives me strength even if I am going through a lot of things.
Some people will always say that there is always no reason for joy, but in my opinion there is always a reason for joy, but the reason for joy is always eternal; that is, things that have eternal value. I know that there are times that it does not always make sense, but it is always worth it.
Joy is the rest you have after completing a stage in your life, and rest is the reward for labour, so you cannot rest if you did not labour or complete it because rewards are always given to people who complete their labour.
It is very important we complete whatever thing we are doing so as to rest after the labour.
Joy cannot be bought; the only price to pay for joy is having God and his spirit. Because joy is the fruit of the Holy Spirit embedded in love, so you receive Christ, and he gives you his spirit like a seed, so the fruit this seed will bear is love, and you first love God, then people before yourself, and by doing this, you get joy.
