Joy is not contingent on perfect conditions but on a divine perspective that sees beyond our temporary struggles to the eternal joy promised by God.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 - "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
Reflection: What temporary struggles are you allowing to overshadow your joy? How can you adjust your perspective to focus on the eternal?
