I'm delirious with joy. It proves that if you confront the universe with good intentions in your heart, it will reflect that and reward your intent. Usually. It just doesn't always do it in the way you expect.

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.
Joy is the serious business of Heaven.
Illusory joy is often worth more than genuine sorrow.
Joy is not the result of getting what you want; it is the way to get what you want. In the deepest sense, joy is what you want.
If you asked me if I wanted more joyful experiences in my life, I wouldn't be at all sure I did, exactly because it proves such a difficult emotion to manage.
It's amazing if you just listen to people. They tell you all the time things that you can do for them, without even realizing what they're doing. I've learned to take notice of those things and if it's something that I feel God wants me to do, then I try to do that to add joy to their life.
I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.
Your joy comes from how you think, the choices that we make in life.
There's something about it that makes sense, Lent. You give something up, and everything's more joyful.
The thing that I've learned is that there really is no joy, and nothing ever good is going to come from negativity. Those are thoughts that, even if you were presenting an honest version of yourself, there's just no point in sharing.
