There is a Lamb who hangs on a Cross, who makes a way across anything.
I was so focused on being perfect, I was missing all the joy.
The Lord taught me how to sigh in pain, how to weep in gladness, and how to trust during days of hope deferred.
Remember, it is into the emptiness that our God came. He filled the void with Light and Life.
When we desire to find our happiness in God, we access a well of joy that won’t run dry.
The shift came when I realized that contentment is not always achieved in fulfilling our grandiose life goals.
Real, God-imbued happiness is not the absence of sadness or badness. Rather, it is hanging on to the truth of His sovereign goodness regardless of what’s going on within or around us.
