Imagine being at a graduation ceremony. You can feel a general sense of happiness in the air for all the students. But then you notice a parent and see that their joy is different. It's deeper, richer, and often mixed with tears, because it's a joy magnified by years of sacrifice, late nights, and heartfelt prayers. What if that's the key to the deepest spiritual joy? Not avoiding the cost, but enduring it for the sake of a greater celebration to come. Today, we will look at the joy that endures.
