Joy

“You were wearied by all your ways, but you would not say, ‘it is hopeless.’ You found renewal in your strength, and so you did not faint.” -Isaiah 57:10

God is good all the time, and all the time God is good. I’m blessed to serve a God who I believe wants us to be joyful even when we aren’t happy, and happy when we’re joyful. I’m realizing that those two experiences are not as segregated as we often make them to be, and that joy and happiness are the most freeing feelings in the world.

It’s been a blessed week because I’ve been joyful and happy in who God is, in who he made me to be, and in what he’s doing in my life.

And I can’t stop smiling….so I’m pretty sure that’s something to be thankful for. God is better than all other things, and all other things will pass away.
