Real joy is not just a feeling; it is a lifestyle. It is not the result of things that are happening around me, but a sturdy rest and peace that I bring to the things around me that change the way I think about and interact with them.- Paul David Tripp
There’s so much that baffles me. So much that troubles me. Saddens me. Worries me.
Tries to take joy from me.
But when I think about the Lord.
When I think about that empty tomb. There I am again, hopelessly hopeful.
"Ambition, drive, and excellence can be great, but when they are about pushing you toward the front instead of shining the light on Jesus, they will destroy you and will ensure you pervert the people around into accessories to accomplish your goals." -Scott Wakefield
If there is one single molecule in this universe running around loose, totally free of God’s sovereignty, then we have no guarantee that a single promise of God will ever be fulfilled. RC Sproul

Walk with a limp, not a strut. Because when you do, God might just shake the earth through you.
