The Heart of Joy Quotes

“in fear, to give fear a place in our lives, to be led by our fears?” Joy shifted on her feet, disturbed by the direction of the conversation. “Well, no, of course not, but—” “No ‘buts,’ Joy. Is fear from God or of God? Is confusion? What does Scripture tell us? Are we to be ordered, counseled, or guided by our fears?” “No.” “Exactly. No. We are, rather, commanded not to fear—that is, not to allow fear to rule us. We are to obey God, even in the face of our fears.”
