+** Joy from the Lord ... **
+The joy which comes from the Lord is going even deeper. There is freedom in him.
+He loves us. He wants good things for us. He wants us to be fully ourselves. He wants us to be with him. He wants our heart to be free, to be pure, to be full of mercy and compassion.
+When the spirit of the Lord comes into my heart, he cleans it. He can make me joyful. He makes me happy and glad.
+Sometimes we come to the Lord with our full burden, with our hopelessness and our struggle. Yes, that is fine! That is good! He wants us to come with all of it. But he also wants us to give it to him and to be full of joy, since he is there to take all these things, and change them, transform them, take them away.
+He CAN make us happy. Indeed. There is so much to be found and gained when we experience the freedom which the Lord gives to us.
