JOY<\/a>  – A common question, \u201cIf I have a foundation in Christ, why is it that I have trouble finding joy?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CREATING OUR NEW NORMAL<\/a> – God sometimes takes things away so we can either appreciate what we had or give us clarity to see what He wants us to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LET ME GET HOME BEFORE DARK<\/a> – Joy and fulfillment come from being who God made you to be. It does not come from things you own, titles you achieve, political causes you support, children you raise, friends you have, or any worldly desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 John 4:16<\/strong>, \u201cAnd so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
