This may sound like an April Fool’s Day joke.

But this is the Sovereign Creator — He who is the way, the truth, and the life — being absolutely truthful…

The fruit of the Spirit is joy. —Gal. 5:22.

Joy in the Holy Ghost. —Unspeakable and full of glory.

Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; . . . exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. —We glory in tribulations.

Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; . . . for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame. —These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. —As the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. —The joy of the Lord is your strength.

In thy presence is fulness of joy: at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. —For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

This is no joke.

This is no April Liar’s trick.

Be strong and of a good courage. —Josh. 1:18.

The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life: of whom shall I be afraid? —He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. —My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

If God be for us, who can be against us? —The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? —Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. —We are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Arise therefore, and be doing, and the Lord be with thee.
