True Joy

by

There are times in life when joy is elusive. Note I said, joy, not happiness. Happiness is ever fleeting and, at least in my mind, not worth the pursuit. After all, we are called to be faithful, not happy. We are called to be obedient, not happy. But it is in obedience and faithfulness we will find true joy. So, when we find ourselves less than joyful, we should first check our obedience and faithfulness.

As much as we love Him, He loves us more.

Our ability to fathom the enormity of what His pursuit of us means does not change the fact the very God you worship pursues and seeks to serve you.
