We can increase our joy anytime by taking some pain to help someone who is less fortunate than us... We can increase our joy anytime by taking some pain to help someone who is less fortunate than us. Kindness is also a seed for joy. Joy cannot be bought from a super market but can only be received in spirit from God; when we try to put God's word into practice by releasing that act of kindness in fulfilling God's command saying; love your neighbor, as yourself. So be: kind, nice and good; someday we will have to leave everyone and everything behind for someone. So try to put a smile on someone's face every now and then thereby making God feel proud of you and increasing your joy within you.
