Joy is hard for me. I like things to make sense and so if there isn't a specific reason to be happy I'm usually not joyful. I don't act upset but I just don't have excessive joy in my heart ever. One thing  I'm trying to remember is that there is a reason to be joyful, God loves me, I get to go Home where there is no sorrow, I have been set free from my sins. God has given us plenty of reasons to be joyful and we should dwell on these when we aren't full of joy. To be filled with joy we have to let go of worrying, you cannot be full of worry and everlasting joy it just doesn't work. Remember God's in control and He loves you more than you can know. Many people in our world are lacking joy because they thinks it's connected to what they have or what's going on. True joy from God isn't determined by your situation or your possessions. It's the way you view life that matters. When you look at things from God's perspective it's a lot easier to be filled with joy.
