John Piper
If we ourselves are the source of our own joy, we will live in constant failure and disappointment....because we are only sinners. Apart from Christ, everything would seem temporary and hopeless.
Where does your joy come from? To me, joy usually stems from a deep thankfulness in my heart. I have eternal hope, life, family. It's becoming such a reality lately how temporary everything in this life is - except Christ. If we don't have Him - how can we live in thankfulness and joy?
Oh, Lord. Let us not have a minute of rest until we are sure our soul belongs to you.
And then, when someone asks, "where does your joy come from?".....may we be able to give a confident answer for the hope that lies within us.
