JoY as our strength

how do we practice joy?

by choosing to be joyful through our trials.  allowing ourselves to be led by joy as we go through things.  we go through storms, but that doesn’t mean storms should go through us.

love.

“For now we see but a faint reflection of riddles and mysteries as though reflected in a mirror, but one day we will see face-to-face. My understanding is incomplete now, but one day I will understand everything, just as everything about me has been fully understood. Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope, and love—yet love surpasses them all. So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which you run.” 

1 Cor 13:12-13 (TPT).

faith & trust

"The cracks are where the light shines through. It’s where grace breathes and moves and lives. 

It’s in the admission of our finiteness that we can explore the infiniteness of God. 

Sometimes, it’s in the “letting go,” the surrender and the admission of weakness, that the finding begins… 

And if we’re honest, the finding lasts a lifetime.


Thank God for that."
