Joy is internal. It emerges from our soul. It is from God in us and the Spirit moves because Christ sent him to us according to the Father’s plan. One practical way for me to foster joy is meditating on the Bible, the psalmist seems to agree:
“Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.”
Psalm 119:111 ESV
Marinate in Scripture and watch joy emerge.
