In all circumstances. Joy? Really? And this joy comes through a continuous stream of prayer each and every day?
And this continuous communication with the Lord, thanking Him in every situation that apparently produces joy is Gods will for the Christian? His purpose, plan, desire for every disciple....
So it's not only an option to enjoy life as a believer but it's imperative that I do. It's imperative that I see and comment on everything in life thankfully and subsequently joyfully and eventually vice versa.
I like His will much better than mine via the perfect job, the perfect house, the perfect income, the perfect family, the perfect body, the perfect set of talents, the perfect education...I actually want to be joy-filled with the perfect Love.
