Joy comes in various sizes, shapes and
forms. Joy is choosing to rejoice even when there seems to be no absolute
reason to be. Joy expresses the delight that you have in the time and moment.
This picture shows joy. True, absolute, genuine Joy! We could never be joyful
without the hope and delight that Jesus brought when he rose from the dead.
Without His resurrection, there would be no hope. “In this you greatly
rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all
kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold,
which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result
in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not
seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in
him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are
receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” – 1 Peter 1:6-9

with the morning.” – Psalm 30:5
