The Holy Spirit gives us joy. And he is joy. Joy is the gift in which all the other gifts are included. It is the expression of happiness, of being in harmony with ourselves, that which can only come from being in harmony with God and with his creation.

You will learn that your spirit is bigger than your circumstances, as soon as you put your spirit first.
