For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit...
Joy does not originate with us. It can only come from God and it is manifested in our hearts as the Holy Spirit takes up residence in us. The Holy Spirit comes to live in us when we believe and accept God's gift of redemption brought about by Jesus death on Calvary for each of our individual and all our collective sins.
We are God's children and he longs to give us all good things. The Holy Spirit is the means in which God gives us all good things. Jesus, as he was getting ready to return to the Father said the Holy Spirit would be given to us so we wouldn't be orphans.
Let us always be grateful that our Father always have our best interest in mind and may our hearts be filled up with his JOY.
