Joy
I'm reading a book called A Woman's Heart that Dances by Catherine Martin. And so far it's really good. (Yes, dad, I like the book...)
Ok, so I've only read the first chapter and a little bit of the second, but in all honestly I've already learned a ton about God and about my relationship with Him.
One of those things was a little quote that I read in it: "Joy is not the absence of suffering, but the presence of God."
That means that you can find joy in ALL situations. Even those ones when it seems like everything and everyone is against you, it is possible to find joy. All you have to remember is that God NEVER leaves you.
Because joy is not the absence of suffering, but the presence of God, there is no time that you will ever not be able to have joy. God is always there. And I'm learning that just as much as you may be.
