As you will learn from the examples of Joseph in Genesis, the Apostle Paul, and former inmate Anthony Ray Hinton, gratitude may play an outsized role in our pursuit of joy. Gratitude does not erase suffering, excuse injustice, or remove disappointment. What it does is help us recognize that pain is not the whole story. It reminds us that even in difficult seasons, goodness remains present and available to us. Gratitude widens our vision enough to see it.
