do you think you deserve joy?
i do. i believe in that. i am not talking about happinness. i am talking about real joy that remains no matter the circumstances around us.
however, it seems that real joy is elusive with me. i am not asking that i will never have problems, but that to have joy inspite of problems. oh God help me.
please restore my joy and the hope that my salvation has brought forth.
help me God.
how about you? are you joyful? really joyful? and not just happy?

Yes everyone deserved a real joy. Joy is more worthy and meaningful than just a mere hapiness. Sometimes we may appear to be happy outside, but deep within there is an empty space bothering us known or unknown to others. Joy can only be attained when we are fulfilled in our dreams, and when we are peacefully satisfied with our relationship to our fellow men and to our creator.

I think that I am a good enough person to get happiness ,I have made many persons happy and I have sacrificed for many persons so why shouldnt I be happy.I think though that God and self acceptnace is the source of true happiness and the minute we return to God then that is when we will really be happy .I hope you find true happiness

Yes, i definitely deserves joy in my life. Though I still feel at present that something is missing. Maybe the answer is Love. And I also pray to God that He will sent me an angel to complete me.
I wish everyone feels joy here in myLot.

Yes, every individual deserves joy, Its not about how gifted or anointed you are, its about how do you accept your life now,to be contented, to praise to thanks him for everything.God faith must be surely had to stop life from turning bad. I deserves joy because God created me, yes I am joyful, I have a wonderful family that keeps me really alive,though we're apart by distance our faith keeps us together.my son is my joy,though some days went bad/good its a part of life.I hope you will find joy in your life spoiled311.

Happiness and joy are merely the same. Everybody deserves to feel that certain happiness. You and I deserves it! Right now, I must humbly say I can feel that joy inside me. Despite of the ups and downs in life I can still manage to be happy. It is because I firmly believe that it is a matter of choice. Don't be too harsh to yourself.

of course i do deserve it. i just think that everyone deserves it. we can always find joy anywhere and with anything and anyone. it also depends on how you define joy. joy is a choice YOU have to make. It is a state of being only you can create.

I am a senior who has worked for 60 years and enjoyed it all. I am still working at 76 and still loving it. Here's my secret to happiness.
We are all Creators! We create our lives day by day, hour by hour, and minute by minute. Once it becomes apparent that our situation is 100% our own, we can no longer pass the blame for anything, to anyone. Now its a totally different ballgame, and one in which we have total control. Knowing this is quintessential to a happy,joyful and loving existence.

spoiled311 maybe I do deserve joy but for this past year I have not really seen a lot of joy, the only joy I feel is when my son comes to visit me and when he leaves I again wish oh god let him get thAt job, a whole year without a job with him in an apt with three other men all of whom are out of work and me here where I do not want to be because we were homeless because we got evicted when my son lost his job,this is joy no this is not joy
joy is good joy makes you feel fantastic, I have not felt fantastic for so long.I would cry but the tears are dried up

What kind of life would it be without the hope of joy in our lives, I think we are all deserving to have some degree of joy to look forward to. It is what keeps us going. Joy is motivation.

Yes, for any person living in this world would like to experience joy. This is the feeling of unexplained feeling of happiness that makes a person satisfied with what he is having at present.
Being joyful is a sign of hoping good things around the person. It makes an impression of a good company as a person. Makes other person feel you are nice and worth having as a friend.
