Romans 15:13 “May God, the fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him.”

I have created you to be happy, which is why it feels so bad to be stressed, worried, and anxious. You cannot manage the actions of others, but you can, with my help, manage yourself. You can learn to find peace in storms. You can find joy, regardless of your circumstances. You can learn to let the opinions of others slide off of you. I alone am the one who defines you.

I want you to experience a life of radical joy and peace that isn’t dependent on your circumstances. I want you to look for the best, to see things from my point of view, and to go after a fulfilling life. Joy is much deeper than what happiness brings. Joy defies trials. It dares to laugh, even when hell is closing in. It trusts in my love. It is free. It lives in radical anticipation of good. A life of joy is a life that doesn’t ignore pain, but is grounded by the reality of my presence in every situation. It is this joy—my joy—rising within you that makes you strong.
