Joy

This life . . .
It can be beautiful … and … so very painful.
Sickness
Suffering
Loneliness
Loss
None of us are immune to what life can give.
What it can take away.
We do what we can to endure it, change it, overcome it.
That’s brave. Worthy.
But what happens when that doesn’t work?
When life keeps knocking us down again and again?
How can we stand under the weight of it all?
We can’t.
We weren’t intended to.
There is Someone.
Someone who experienced the worst of this world.
(and infinitely more)
Intentionally. On purpose. For us …
For you.
In this world you will have suffering, but take heart!
I have conquered the world!
— John 16:33
We don’t have to go through life without hope. Without help.
There is a gift waiting for you.
A way to experience deep and abiding joy.
This kind of joy doesn’t depend on:
circumstances getting better
us having it together
any other fallible, fading thing
In your Presence is the fullness of joy.
— Psalm 16:11
Wherever you are in this moment . . .
I’m praying you’ll know how precious you are.
How dearly loved.
I’m praying you will

the Joy of
Abiding with Jesus
DOORWAYS TO JOY
Here are some of my favoritest joys:
(in a nearly random order)
The Treasure
I love me some words!
Reading them.
Studying them.
Geeking out on them.
And weaving them together for the sake of Joy.
*Communion
The incredible people I encounter every day. Especially those I get to do life with.
You know how much I love/fangirl you.
Excessively.
*Worth-ship
Entering into the fullness of His presence.
Anytime from anywhere.
A precious and powerful gift bought for us by an even more precious and powerful Jesus.
Assurance
Anything that reflects the beauty of the human experience
and the wonderfully excessive, mind-blowing glory of God.
