Being joyful in God is simple, but we make it complicated. It is a bit like being in Paradise in our original harmony, our deification, but then stuff happens in being human and we end up losing the connection.

But it is still there within as God is within.  Prayer, grace, is the recovering of our first nature. It is a life of restoration. We know when we are getting there when love becomes the ultimate motive of our human conduct.

We will take some time for meditation, and
