One of the main ways that Archangel Haniel communicates with people is by giving them a fresh sense of joy, and she does that by directing them to the source of all joy: God.
Far too often, we're tempted to look in the wrong places for joy, and end up with only transitory happiness (at best) or nothing (at worst). Searching for joy in our circumstances (from relationships with people to our jobs our hobbies) will always leave us feeling disappointed, because circumstances change constantly. But unlike happiness, joy goes beyond changing circumstances: It's rooted in God's love for us, which will never change.
My role model growing up was a lady who radiated joy in her onscreen performances: Ginger Rogers. But that joy didn't come from her glamorous Hollywood life (which actually presented lots of pressures and challenges). Her joy came from her relationship with God. Ginger taught me to go straight to the source of joy -- God himself -- rather than look for it in anything lesser. I hope you do the same, and enjoy a life filled with joy, no matter what circumstances you encounter!
