Joy is a state of being. It is deeper than happiness, and more satisfying than laughter. It is the sigh of contentment and comfort, of realizing all the experiences of our lives add up to a purpose that God will weave into our story. Joy is the result of believing we have value, and what happens to us matters. Let these words remind you there is purpose and a plan for you – and God will be with you in this journey.
