Eternal Truths
You are intended to have happiness and joy. That’s the purpose of your life. It’s the purpose of Heavenly Father’s plan of happiness. This doesn’t mean you will never be sad or have hard times. But it does mean that the Savior can help you get through hard times and find joy.
Joy doesn’t come from your circumstances; it comes from following Jesus Christ. You might have a bad day, a bad week, or a bad year. But joy is not the absence of sorrow in your life; it’s the presence of Christ in your life.
The Savior’s joy is greater and more lasting than anything else. Satan will tempt you to seek fun and satisfaction in selfish ways or from worldly pleasures. Anything that is contrary to Jesus Christ and His commandments cannot bring you true, lasting joy and happiness. Remember that the things of this earth are temporary. The gospel of Jesus Christ offers joy and happiness that are deep, holy, and everlasting.

Invitations
Choose joy. Although it’s true that there is sadness and hardship in this world, Heavenly Father has also filled the world with many beautiful, wholesome things. Seek them out. Try to notice reasons to rejoice every day—maybe even write them down. These are gifts from your loving Father in Heaven.
Bring joy and happiness to others. Jesus Christ found a fulness of joy in bringing us joy. You can follow His example by finding joy and happiness in serving others. Help someone feel loved. Give a sincere compliment. Encourage someone who is struggling. If you ever feel like you need more joy in your life, try bringing joy to someone else.
Be joyful in worshipping the Lord. When you go to church, focus on the joy that Jesus Christ gives you, and praise Him for that! Do your part to contribute to a joyful spirit in your Church meetings. Make sacred music part of your worship at home and at church.
Promised Blessings
You can feel joy even when life is hard. You might wonder how this is possible, but it’s true. Your faith in Jesus Christ, His healing power, and His eternal promises can give you constant joy. His joy overshadows sorrow and brings peace that passes all understanding.
A fulness of joy awaits you in God’s celestial kingdom. Jesus Christ overcame all things that could keep you from RECEIVING ETERNAL JOY. As you trust Him and follow Him, this joy will be yours.
