I hear the Lord say:
Joy is my steadfast presence. When trials come, and are endured and overcome, joy returns. My joy is an undercurrent that remains constant in your life. Joy is possible in all circumstances because of My Holy presence in your life. Joy is possible because you can trust Me in all circumstances. Joy is sweeter when it is tested and tried. It becomes a conviction, not a result of a happy event. Joy is the abiding presence, the constant companionship, and the enduring love of Jesus in your heart, mind and soul.
My purpose for telling you these things
is so that the joy that I experience
will fill your hearts with overflowing gladness!
John 15:11 TPT
