in the place of suffering / there's a God worth worshiping -- jason upton : 'face of time'
joy should not depend on the kind of day that we may be experiencing. whether we worship God or not, should not depend on how we might be feeling.
john piper said at the passion 05 conference: "devote yourself with all your mind, with all your heart, and with all your strength to persuing your joy in God. you should persue the enlargement and the intensification and the deepening of your joy so hard that that joy in Christ can be shaken by no pain and can be competed with by no pleasure. that's your goal in life."
even when our hearts have been stomped on... even when our hearts have been broken... even when we feel like we have nothing... and even when we feel like we have no one, there is still a God worth worshiping. when we are completely satisfied in Him, we find that nothing can move us. nothing. that joy that we share in Christ can battle anything.
remember that God never said walking with Him would be easy.
"i got news for you... the Christian life isn't hard. the Christian life isn't even difficult... the Christian life is impossible!" (louis giglio - passion 05)
Christ knows that we cannot do it... that is why He enters us because He can do it.
