Repentance brings joy because it prepares our hearts to receive the influence of the Holy Ghost. To be filled with the Holy Ghost means to be filled with joy. And to be filled with joy means to be filled with the Holy Ghost.¹⁸ Our joy increases as we work daily to bring the Spirit into our lives. – Craig C. Christensen, “There Can Be Nothing So Exquisite and Sweet as Was My Joy,” Ensign (CR) May 2023
