How to See God in Middle SchoolSample

True Joy is much more than just feeling happy when life is going well—it’s deeper, steadier, and impossible to shake. This verse reminds us that even though we can’t physically see Jesus, when we love Him and place our trust in Him, we receive a kind of Joy that the world can’t quite understand. It’s not based on how easy or hard life feels but on the Incredible Gift of knowing Him.

Think about the pure happiness you feel when you’re with your closest friends, sharing a moment that makes you laugh until you cry—now imagine a Joy even greater than that. That’s the kind of Joy Jesus offers us, one that stays with us no matter what’s happening around us.

How can you trust Him today and let that Unshakable Joy take root in your heart?
