In Others’ Words: The Serious Business of Joy

I often expect to find joy here. Now. 

And then I’m reminded that joy is other-worldly.

Oh, sure, we can catch glimpses of joy in our lives here on earth. As we love and are loved by others. And I always, always hear echoes of joy in the laughter of children.

But the love and grace and forgiveness of God provides joy that lasts longer than today or tomorrow. And there are days … many of them … that I need to remember this truth.

Joy, abiding joy, is God-given. 

In Your Words: I prayed for each person who would read this post. My prayer is that you would experience an extra portion of joy today as a blessing from God. What brings you joy?
