Christians should always find reasons to be joyful. Joy isn't just a smile or a laugh. Joy is something that is deep within and doesn't leave quickly. When we have the joy of the Lord, we will know it and so will others. Since joy is given by God and it is something that He wants us to have, we need to be joyful. In addition to being joyful, we should let others have their joy and not bring them down when they are excited about good things. The only thing worse than not having joy is trying to steal someone else's. If we can't find reasons to be joyful, our perspective must change. God gives us blessings every day. We should be able to see them and thank God for them. Joy is the second "fruit of the Spirit," according to Galatians 5:22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is...joy..." Thank God that joy is something He want us to have! Reading the scriptures will bring us joy! "And these things we write to you that your joy may be full" (I John 1:4). PEACE AND JOY GO TOGETHER!
