Insights

Chara is much more than a feeling of happiness; it is a serious gladness that can be present even in very difficult times. This joy is a delight in something that satisfies the soul, which can often make people happy but does not mean they have to be cheerful. In Scripture, God's glory and goodness are the sources of joy.
