Joy is the experience of knowing that you are unconditionally loved.
From John 3:16-17: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through Him.”
Henri Nouwen (1932-1996) was a Dutch priest, professor, writer, and theologian.

From Isaiah 42:6-7: “I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I have taken you by the hand and kept you; I have given you as a covenant to the people, a light to the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.”
Blindness to Gospel’s light
Following enemy’s false word
Nonbelievers walk in darkness
Tomorrow remains blurred
Alone in wilderness
Searching for trusted pathway home
God sends His righteous light to guide
Where Spirit always roams
Sheep never forgotten
Coming to Shepherd’s open gate
Mercy’s always forgiving light
Witness tomorrow’s fate
Vision no longer blind
Finding light’s genuine code
Faithful covenant sealed with love
Freedom’s eternal road
Savior’s voice heard from high
Shining through darkness, Heaven’s light
God’s glory seen in face of Christ
Salvation dressed in white
From 2 Corinthians 4:6: “For it is the God who said, ‘Light will shine out of darkness,’ who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.”
