joy

"the greatest hinderance to worship is not that we are a pleasure seeking people, but that we are willing to settle for such pitiful pleasures."

John Piper Desiring God

my joy rests in God. it doesn't come from shopping, or what other people think of my hair. i have experienced the depth of the joy that comes from knowing and resting in the presence of the my heavenly father, and nothing will ever measure up. not till we get to heaven or Jesus comes back.
