The habit of always putting off an experience until you can afford it, or until the time is right, or until you know how to do it is one of the greatest burglars of joy. Be deliberate, but once you've made up your mind -jump in.
Joy is a deeply felt contentment that transcends difficult circumstances and derives maximum enjoyment from every good experience.
Deep, contended joy comes from a place of complete security and confidence [in God] - even in the midst of trial.
Let`s choose each day and every day to keep an attitude of faith and joy and belief and compassion.
Christlikeness is a journey, not a destination. The joy is in the journey.
God seems to reward us with good, delightful experiences when we move with joy through the less-than-delightful times.
If God awarded us medals, as they do in the Olympics, love would win the gold, joy the silver, and peace the bronze.
Confidence brings joy when we let God be God.
