Be freed from the burden of bearing your own load. Let God do that work. God loves to show his God-ness by working for us.
When we share in the happiness of God, we share in the very pleasure that the Father has in the Son.
When you lay down the burden of vengeance, God will pick it up.
Imagine being able to enjoy what is most enjoyable with unbounded energy and passion forever. One day, God’s delight in his Son will be in us.
God does not need us. Instead, his infinite self-sufficiency spills over in love to us who need him.
If none of God’s purposes can be frustrated, then he must be the happiest of all beings.
The quest for joy is not optional, but commanded.
Joy is not a mere option alongside worship. It is an essential component of worship.
Take up the Bible, ask the Holy Spirit for help, lay the promises up in your heart, and fight the good fight — to live by faith in future grace.
God’s greatest interest is to glorify the wealth of his grace by making sinners happy in him.
