God is not only joyful, he is pure joy. This is demonstrated in his affection for his son, Jesus. He is a proud and happy father who delights in his first begotten son. Parents have the privilege of experiencing a shadow of this divine joy in raising children. I love my son Isaac so much it truly is not possible to express in mere words. He brings me joy unspeakable. Perhaps the most amazing thing God ever told me was that He loves me more than I love my son. Though we may not all be parents, we are all sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. May we let his love for us fill our hearts with the joy that no one or no thing could ever take away!

"At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth..." Luke 10:21
