4,580 Quotes About Joy

How does one know you’ve “made it”?You no longer feel like you have anything to prove to anyone. You have no regrets or resentments from the past, anger that you’re working from.

Living all out for God certainly doesn't mean we'll have a safe life. It's not supposed to be safe-or particularly easy. That doesn't mean it always has to be full of turmoil and trials; it just means we want so much of God that we're willing to do whatever He asks us to do. It also means we have a rock-solid faith and a deep, abiding joy that doesn't depend on our circumstances.
