Cycle of Joy
Cycle of Joy
Joy isn't just a random feeling—it is a spiritual state found in the right focus of love. We must consciously choose where to direct our energy. The cycle works by maintaining a constant FOCUS on three specific steps, where every step is fueled by the one before it.

Three Pillars
Three Pillars
God is the source of all light, and He has given us the agency to transform that divine energy into a life of purpose. Like the rays of the sun, the Holy Spirit provides the "fuel" for our souls—but it is through our choices that we receive, share, and recognize that light.
The Visual Language - The Anatomy of Grace
The Visual Language - The Anatomy of Grace
The heart is the center of every icon because God is the center of every joy.
The Gold: Represents the "Gold Standard"—God’s perfect, omnibenevolent nature. Gold does not tarnish or fade, symbolizing that God's love is everlasting and immutable.
The Facets: The heart is not a flat shape; it is faceted like a diamond. This represents the multi-dimensional nature of Grace—how it catches the light differently depending on our circumstances, yet remains one solid, unbreakable core.
The White Lines: The Redeemed Self
The White Lines: The Redeemed Self
The figures and hands are rendered in pure white.
Purity and Potential: In the light spectrum, white is the sum of all colors. In our narrative, the white lines represent humanity made in the image of God—a "blank canvas" or a "clean vessel" ready to be filled with His light.
Minimalism: The lack of facial features or complex detail signifies that this plan is for everyone. It is a universal human experience, transcending individual identity to focus on the soul’s posture.
The Radiant Rays: The Frequency of Effort
The Radiant Rays: The Frequency of Effort
The rays emanating from the heart are the most dynamic part of the visual language.
The Outflow: The rays represent God’s love moving outward from the heart and through the person.
The Spectrum: While the heart remains Gold, the rays change color based on the "Good-Better-Best" model. This symbolizes that while God’s love is constant, our capacity to channel its energy changes based on our devotion and habits.
Three Pillars & Symbolism
Three Pillars & Symbolism
These three icons represent the "Circulation of Joy." For light to shine brightly, it must be received, shared, and hosted within a healthy vessel.
Pillar 1: Receive (The Inflow)
Pillar 1: Receive (The Inflow)
The Visual: Two hands held open, cupping the Gold Heart.
Symbolism: This is the posture of humility and surrender. Before we can do anything, we must be willing to accept that God is the source of all good things. The hands do not "clutch" the heart; they support it, showing that we are stewards of the grace we are given.
Spiritual Energy: This is where we "plug in" to the Source through core actions like prayer and scripture study.
Pillar 2: Share (The Conduit)
Pillar 2: Share (The Conduit)
The Visual: Two figures standing together, with the Gold Heart suspended between them.
Symbolism: This represents the horizontal dimension of faith. Love is not meant to be hoarded; it is a current that must flow. The figures are connected by the heart, suggesting that true human connection only happens when God is the mediator of the relationship.
Spiritual Energy: This is the "frequency" of service, forgiveness, and community.
Pillar 3: Love Self (The Radiance)
Pillar 3: Love Self (The Radiance)
The Visual: A single figure with the Gold Heart centered perfectly within the chest.
Symbolism: This represents the Internal Temple. To "Love your neighbor as yourself," you must first steward the life God gave you. Having the heart inside the figure symbolizes that we are "temples of the Holy Spirit."
Spiritual Energy: This is the frequency of self-care, health, and mental peace, ensuring the "lamp" is clean so the light can shine.
