Psalm 19:8
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The Word of GOD brings unspeakable joy
The word, "rejoice" means: An outward manifestation of and inward joy. When we experience the real joy of the LORD, there are no words that can describe the feeling. The radiance of the countenance of the person speaks loudly of the inward joy that can only come from GOD. You can tell when a person has been in the Word, meditating on the LORD, their eyes are filled with light and they glow from the power of GOD'S Word having found a home in them.
There is a definition of a Sacrament which has a similar ring as the definition of "rejoicing"; a Sacrament is an "outward and visible sign of an inward and Spiritual grace". The word rejoice can be defined as an "outward and visible sign of an inward and Spiritual grace, the grace of GOD". Although joy is not recognized as one of the Sacraments by the Church, it still rings with the Holy nature of the Sacraments. Joy is Holy, because GOD, who is Holy, has given it to us by His Holy Spirit.
JOY IS A PERSON. HIS NAME IS JESUS.
