Remember when we talked about choosing joy? That deep, unshakeable kind that doesn’t flinch when life acts up? Let’s take it a step further—because choosing joy is one thing, keeping it is another.
Joy isn’t fragile, but it does need care. The world will throw shade, noise, chaos, and even hate at you like it’s trying to knock the smile off your face. But here’s the good news: you’ve got the tools to hold on tight.
It’s in the little things—those quiet moments with God, the belly laughs with your people, the breath between the battles where you remember, “Oh yeah, I’ve still got my joy.”
You don’t have to fake it. Just feed it.
Because real joy doesn’t run. It roots. And no matter what comes, it can still rise.
