Joy! Who does not enjoy Joy? It is such a positive fruit of the Holy
Spirit that helps us in many ways and also makes our lives enjoyable. Joy
should be a core part of the life of every True Believer family unless they
need to grieve for a season. Joy is something that is usually expressed in some
positive way by those people who have it. Joy from the Lord gives us strength.
