Psalm 19:8
The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
Jeremiah 15:16
When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O LORD God Almighty.
1 Chronicles 16:33
Then the trees of the forest will sing, they will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.

The joy of the Lord is indeed my strength.
Even through the most devastating times in my life,
this joy just keeps bubbling up.
He has indeed given me beauty for ashes
Oil of joy for mourning
And the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
All praise and glory go to Him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb that was slain.

Yes but it was fleeting until I figured out I don't need any God to feel that way.........It is the VERY SAME feeling you get when you work toward becoming self-actualized. If you would like that feeling to last, learn to love life and be a person you can love and respect, then you will ask if everyone is enjoying life as much as you are.

The joy I'm really waiting to experience is the joy I'll feel when you finally stop asking these annoying questions. If you want to proselytize, go down to the street corner with all the others.

Singing Trees?
I've heard of Screaming Trees from Seattle.
Are they related?

I have experienced the joy of Atem and the joy of Lucifer, Leviathan, and Dagon. Right now I am experiencing the joy of Baal.

I've been told I'll experience it as god tosses me by the scruff of the neck into the flames of Hell.
