I have decided that I will work towards seeking for joy instead of just happiness. Why, do you ask? Happiness is temporary, although a good thing, but it can be fleeting. Joy, on the other hand, is eternal if we choose to truly seek it. I have known many people who, in the midst of very difficult trials, have found joy because of their belief in God and His Son Jesus Christ. "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy." (2 Ne 2:25) Galatians 5:22 says, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith." I must look for joy, strive to practice the pure love of Christ, which is charity, each day and with everyone.
Joy is something one can find
If they've chosen to be kind
We must look up to heavenly light
To seek for joy and do what's right
