“You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” — Psalm 16:11
The deepest joy of all is found in God’s presence. While ordinary moments, gratitude, relationships, service, creation, hope, forgiveness, worship, and even trials can reveal joy, they all point us toward the Source—God Himself. True joy is not fleeting; it is eternal because it comes from abiding in God’s love.
In prayer, scripture, stillness, and daily life, we are invited to dwell in God’s presence. Here, joy is not something we must strive for but something we receive. God’s presence fills our hearts, centers our spirits, and reminds us that we are never alone.
This is the culmination of joy: to rest in the One who created us, redeems us, and sustains us. In God’s presence, we find joy that no circumstance can take away. This joy is our strength, our peace, and our song—now and forever.
