Dear Servant,
The secret to true joy lies in salvation. Sin leads him to despair, lostness and separation from all that is good. Only through salvation, through the sacrifice of my son can life be redeemed. When life is redeemed, then man can know true joy. His burden has been lifted, his life can be lived in true freedom. Joy is bound to follow when a person understands that they have received life that can never be taken away.
Why do you lack joy as my follower? You, like so many, focus on this life and forget the salvation you have received. You worry about every petty detail of life and miss the joy of knowing that in light of a forever life with me in heaven, these daily distractions are insignificant. Compared to your salvation in my son, everything else you own and treasure is a handful of dust, scattered into the wind with no thought of where it went. Turn to the things that matter, salvation in Christ and joy will follow.
Eternal Joy, I AM
