JOY.
It's not just about feeling the emotion.
It's about being in the state of joy.
It's not always about what you feel-it's about where you choose to place yourself....in the state of joy where you choose to still have a spirit of joy or out of it.
Before Jesus death...He didn't feel joyful as in the emotion but He was glad to BE.
By being at rest in God, we're not talking about spiritual lethargy but about the PEACE OF GOD, Being in harmony with oneself, with God, and with one's place in God's purpose and plan, unflustered by circumstances, by change, by trials, by ups and downs, or by fluctuating feelings.
-Michael Phillips
Therefore...choose joy.
