As Christians it is actually our duty to be joyful. We have been commanded unto joy. This is not an impossible ask, for no cross can crush the joy of Christ, not even depression, grief, or sorrow. The joy of the Lord flourishes mysteriously, simultaneously, in the midst of such joy-blackholes; for when our own joy has disippated, God's Joy finally has full room to settle. God does not command the impossible, and so it is only fair that we ask not for Joy like timid slaves, but command it as a right as sons, as daughters of God. Yes, in Christ we possess this right, but only by faith can we claim it, and by the cross can we live it. Let the world have its joy, and we will have ours. Maybe out of envy they will seek out this Christ, this Joy of ours.
