Fruit of the Spirit for Young ChildrenSample

Joy is a deep happiness that comes from knowing God loves us and is always with us. It’s different from just being happy because joy stays with us even when things are tough. When we have joy, we can feel God's presence and love, no matter what happens.

The Bible tells us to rejoice always, which means to be joyful all the time. This can be hard when things aren't going well, but if we remember that God is with us, we can find joy in any situation. We can share joy with others by smiling, laughing, and being positive.

• Reflection Question: What are some things that make you feel joyful?
• Prayer: Dear God, thank You for filling my heart with joy. Help me to spread joy to others. Amen.
