Joy

Sometimes I forget what joy feels like.


But there are these moments of life that remind me of a proper perspective towards God’s ways and means and the joy that comes from it.


For the christian the path is often riddled with difficulty.


The life Christ calls us to is not easy, by any means.


But these moments like tonight, they remind me that some of the best things of life are the ones that take the longest and most effort to get to.


And perhaps in this I see clearer than I ever have that life is worth fighting for.


Joy is worth the overwhelming sadness of refinement.


Christ is worth it.


-John Grinstead
