until i discovered it Joy was something that puzzled and fascinated me...
ultimately joy is an elusive state of being..something we all yearn after but very few find.
And so we look to happiness instead..the constant pursuit of that one thing that is going to make us content..fulfilled.... yet we never find it..
why? because it is impossible to be happy all your life.. life in its diversity brings sorrow, disappointment and pain..all things deemed to bring us happiness are fleeting in varying degrees...material goods are the obvious trap we fall into. but what about other people, relationships, achievements in our careers..havent we all chased after these things...and still been unhappy...
so you ask yourself then.. what is joy... how is it different to happiness...how can it make me content..even amidst lifes disappointments and sorrows..?
Ironically i found Joy with tears streaming down my face..my heart aching.....my future in tatters..because it was in that moment that i found peace...hope...and am undying belief in my future ..
Because i get it now.. i get that all i have to do is let go and keep my eyes on God.. he is there.. he catches me when i fall.. he strengthens me when i am weakest..and he gives me the excitement of hope... hope in my future... knowledge that he is working in it for my good as long as i walk in his will...
He is the only steadfast and dependable thing we have in a world awash with uncertainty .... he is my anchor, my hope , my savour and my friend.
He is the reason i have Joy...
