Everlasting joy

Psalm 51:12 “Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.” Nothing in this short life compares to the joy we own because our eternity brings no sadness.  Every once in a while we have a thrill on this earth because of a visit by someone we love and who loves us.  Or we go on a special vacation.  Or we have a special dinner out to celebrate a birthday or anniversary or something.  We have a glass of champaign.  But nothing can possibly give us the joy of knowing eternity in Heaven with all its glory and happiness is coming.  That joy carries us always as we take our steps on this earth.
