JOY

Regardless of one’s faith, 
joy is present inside everyone as an untapped reservoir of potential.

It’s possible to experience joy in difficult times. 
It’s possible to know joy or feel joy in spite of grief or uncertainty. 
Joy doesn’t need a smile in order to exist.

Although joy does feels better with a happy smile, joy can share space with other emotions — sadness, fear, anger ... even unhappiness. Happiness can’t.

Joy blooms through connection. 
It’s what God wants for us. 

Joy is present, in the moment. Every moment. 
Happiness is ephemeral and temporary. 
It’s mostly just passing through.

True joy is a limitless, life-defining, transformative reservoir waiting to be tapped into. 
It requires the utmost surrender and, like love, is a choice to be made. 

Joy is not simply a feeling that happens.
Joy brings meaning to life. It brings life to life.
