It really depends on what kind of joy we are expressing and what has motivated the outpouring of our joy. We might be really joyful to discover that we ...read more

    If You Want Joy

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 13, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,663 views

    Genuine joy comes after we do what Christ bids us do, and is grounded in our relationship to Him. In fact, the real issue is not our joy but His.

    If you want joy! What a ridiculous premise! Of course you want joy. Of course we want to be happy. Of course all of us want to feel deep satisfaction with life. We want joy. That's just self-evident. The trouble is, we don't know how to get that joy. We don't understand where joy comes from, how ...read more

    Pain Turned Into Joy Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 12, 2009
    based on 12 ratings
     | 17,968 views

    It seems unreal that pain could be turned into joy. Yet pain is the very stuff of joy. It will come, not instantaneously, but completely. The risen Christ proves this, and can transform our disappointments, disillusionments, and shame into joy.

    “You will have pain, but y our pain will turn into joy.” That brings back memories of the doctor’s office and that giant needle moving ever closer. “This will hurt a little bit.” A little bit! When you are a year old, it hurts a lot, and there is no joy in it. No, I do not remember being one ...read more
