While optimism makes us live as if someday soon things will soon go better for us, hope frees us from the need to predict the future and allows us to live in the present, with the deep trust that God will never leave us alone but will fulfill the deepest desires of our heart.. Joy in this perspective is the fruit of hope.
Henri J.M. Nouwen
Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.

Joy is based on the spiritual knowledge that, while the world in which we live is shrouded in darkness, God has overcome the world.
