"...fill our minds with the stories of God's acts. Joy has a history. Joy is the verified, repeated experience of those involved in what God is doing. It is as real as a date in history, as solid as a stratum of rock in Palestine. Joy is nurtured by living in such a history, building on such a foundation." - Eugene Peterson, A Long Obedience in the Same Direction
joy. so much to be joyful about. just take time to remember. think about what God's done in history, in your story. He's faithful. He's good. He is Love.
"My security comes from who God is, not from how I feel. Discipleship is a decision to live by what I know about God, not by what I feel about him or myself or my neighbors." E. Peterson
