Post Twenty-Seven: Joy

first blush

the very place our fear lies is the very place Jesus will redeem us with joy.

Post Ten: Thy Will

what is counted?

No one who has ever said to God, "Thy will be done," and meant it with his heart, ever failed to find joy - not just in heaven, or even down the road in the future in this world, but in this world at that very moment.     -Peter Kreeft 

Post Three: One Scripture

alleyway joy

Mark 10:45

For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served; he came to serve and to give his life to redeem many people.

That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not to be served—and then to give away his life in exchange for many who are held hostage.
