Holy joy is a foretaste of the eternal gladness of Heaven.

~Richard Sibbes

We need to live for Heaven while here on Earth! This Earth School journey is not always easy! It brings disappointment, pain, suffering, and sorrow, but when we remember that we are here for God's plan and purpose, doing His will, living for Him, following Jesus, then we can be joyful in that and know that this joy is a foretaste for the eternal gladness of Heaven with Jesus! We need to stay holy, happy, joyful in the Lord! We need to live in constant prayer, to be grateful, counting our blessings always! Praying for others and the world! We need to stay positive, loving, and joyful in the Lord! We need to know that when we do, when we follow Jesus, reflecting, imitating, loving, and forgiving like Him, we are promised life eternal in Heaven, so stay joyful! Do not let things of this world, people of this world bring you down, don't become negative, hateful, or living in misery, stay away from all of this negative mindset, try to help others to know Jesus, to live for Him and follow Him, help others to be prayerful, grateful, loving, positive, and joyful in the Lord! This quote is a good reminder for all of us, yes, we need to stay joyful! Heaven is at hand!
