“The Christian is not superficial in any sense, but is fundamentally serious and fundamentally happy. You see, the joy of the Christian is a holy joy, the happiness of the Christian is a serious happiness. … it is a solemn joy, it is a holy joy, it is a serious happiness; so that, though he is grave and sober-minded and serious, he is never cold and prohibitive.”
― David Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Studies in the Sermon on the Mount
Awesome quote, my friend. Joy is something that’s in such short supply in this world that people question how we who follow Jesus can be genuinely hopeful and full of joy even when our circumstances are harsh. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, yeah it’s a feeling i can’t really explain but wow it’s a feeling i thought i’d never have! 🙏 😀
There are so many bible verses like ““May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” – Romans 15:13.
Also as a blindman who has this incredible Joy and Peace that only comes from Him, i like this verse ““For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen.”—2 Corinthians 4:17-18
Thanks once again for stopping by and chatting, it’s such a blessing to see you here…And i’m so happy that the quote spoke to you too! 😀
