God’s Gentle Joy

God’s joy is a gentle and humble joy that does not break the faintest heart.

“Come to me, all you who labour and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.” – Matthew 11, WEBBE

A Gentle Joy

There is a kind of joy
that does not offend
that does not hurt
the grieving heart.

A joy that does not boast
that does not look down
on those who are weeping
on those who are sad.

But a joy that lifts up
a joy that cares,
a joy that shares
the peace that it has.

For it is a joy that is deep
a joy that is steeped
in goodness
and in love.
