Joy
My greatest joy is discovering the presence of God within me.

cofounder Charles Fillmore wrote that joy is “the happiness of God
expressed through his perfect idea”—humankind. Witnessing the unbridled
joy of children on Christmas morning brings a smile to my face and gives
me a warm feeling.
Although my childhood may be a distant memory, joy remains an active part of my life. I find joy in the beauty of holiday decorations, in the fellowship of family and friends, and in giving and receiving gifts. I discover that my greatest joy is knowing and feeling the presence of God within me. I recognize and rejoice in God’s presence in me and see it in everyone I meet. I know that joy is always present and can be called into expression at every moment.

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness.—Galatians 5:22
