My natural inclination as a human is not to inherently look for, nor instinctively express, joy in all occasions. It’s just not. However, I can learn to be joyful. If I am awaiting the absence of life’s burdens to experience true joy... I will live a long, sad, and sorrow-filled life of bitterness and regret. Both sorrow and joy are simultaneously a part of my journey as a Christian.
