9As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father�s commandments, and abide in his love. 11These things have I spoken unto you, that my ""joy"" might remain in you, and that your ""joy"" might be full. 12This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.



John 15:9-13



6Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.



1 Peter 1:6-9



12Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ�s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.



1 Peter 4:12-14

Well I am not one of the girls - but the question has been sitting a few days so here is my response:



I take joy in wholesome movies, and I particularly like Jane Austen and masterpiece theater.



Joy comes when I can be a mediator or go-between for my feuding family members.



I like buying stuff online because online has made all sorts of cool fun things available which are not available off line.



It is joyful to be helpful to other people, but for me I find it hard to find anyone who needs any help.

Being grateful for the things that we have, and the experiences we have been going through - well spring of joy comes of that.



Try it.. In closed eyes, say these 2 words - *Thank you* - with the thought of all you want to be grateful of. Then you would start feeling that inner peace and joy.



*I've got a joy, joy, joy, joy

Down in my heart

Where?

Down in my heart

Where?

Down in my heart

*I've got a joy, joy, joy, joy

Down in my heart today*
