Joy – Choosing Light in a Heavy World

How to Reclaim Joy When Life Feels Anything But Joyful

---

I didn’t feel joyful the day I got that phone call.
You know the kind—where your stomach drops before you even pick up.

I was already feeling overwhelmed. Burned out. Spiritually dry.
And then came the news that pushed me right over the edge.

I remember sitting in my car, staring out the windshield at nothing, thinking:
“I’m supposed to be a person of faith. A person of hope. But I feel completely joyless.”

Maybe you’ve had one of those seasons. Or maybe you’re in it right now. Life has been heavy, and you’re wondering if joy is still an option.

Let me say this clearly: Joy is still possible. And not just possible—it's powerful.

Not because life is light. But because Jesus is.
