The Fight for Joy
The "daily grind" has a way of masking joy. It's still there somewhere, waiting to be discovered anew, but for now it continues in seemingly perpetual elusiveness. I shall hunt. I shall fight. Joy will be found and kept. Tomorrow I will fight harder than today.
Oh, but how to fight? I have some idea of what to do but am far from being Dr. Joy. Everlasting, uncircumstantial joy is deeply rooted in the Christ, the Son of God. More on this later. The other way to maintain and renew that joy on a daily basis is to share it! Share it with everyone. Don't hide it! Don't keep it to yourself. Share your experiences, share the stories of old, share the amazing truths, and share with both Christian and nonchristian alike.
