Joy is the reward of the faithful, the enjoyment of a foretaste of Heaven.

It is the will of the Father that all who are faithful to Him in love shall enjoy this experience, and experience it even when pain and sorrow are present.

Joy is the very air breathed by those in the Father's Presence: it is an offshoot of love, and courses through the souls of the faithful.

Find joy in all you do, in work and friendship, in travel, in leisure, in coming and in going, in rest and in repose.

And know that so long as you are faithful in love and purpose to the Father and His Kingdom, joy will follow and welcome and accompany you without fail.

"Sorrow abideth for a season but joy cometh in the morning."
