Joy is an overflowing, an explosion. Something enters a person's life for which he could never be prepared and his previously tidy self erupts in song, dance and joy.
Approach the Divine with a calculated mind and there is no window for joy. Embrace the infinite beyond mind and let joy surprise you.

Explosive Joy
Rabbi, occasionally I have some joy. I definitely love to study or pray or worship. But I have not come to the point of explosive joy yet. By faith I know there must be that moment because the L-rd definitely talks about that joy. The closest I see is when the Jews danced with their Torah during a Simcha Torah in Jerusalem. For my lot, still just trust and hope.

Joy in Gd
I can't exactly think of an impressive example, just a quiet sort of flowing in the mere expression of love for Gd.
