Joy is a gift.

Joy is a gift, given to Believers as they grow in maturity in Christ.

Galatians 5:22

Contentment is a command.

Happiness depends on happenstance.

As soon as we learn that, we more often have all three.

Learning that in a deeper way than I thought I could have this year. It’s been a great struggle, but the light is dawning, and even in the middle of pain, there really is Joy. So hard to explain…but it really is there. In spite of my un-sunshiney blog posts.

Joy runs deep. Like an undercurrent that is always there, no matter what splashes into the visible waters. Peace to you…
