Returning to Joy

“Joy is the echo of God's life in you. Let that not stay just an idea — let it become the breath you take next.”

“Open Psalm 16:11 slowly tonight. Read it as if it were a letter sent across centuries to find you, on this very page, in this very ache.”

“St. Teresa of Calcutta knew this ground by name. They are not far from you. Their prayer, on the other side of glory, is praying you forward.”

“You do not have to resolve returning to joy tonight. Staying here, in His company, choosing to be honest — that is already the beginning of healing.”
