You Are My Joy.

I think recently I've realized that life really isn't easy. The problems and the pain don't just fade away. You need something to take it out of your life. Last night I got home from work, went into my backyard and laid down on my trampoline. As I sat there and stared at the sky, I was thinking of all of the bad stuff happening and all of the pain in my life, and how I was ever going to get back to the joy I lost along the way. Then I started to think about a praise song that I love so much, and as the wind blew the hair out of my face, I felt the lyrics running through me.

"He is jealous for me, loves like a hurricane, and I am a tree bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy. And all of a sudden I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory, and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great Your affections are for me."
-How He Loves by David Crowder Band

I feel better today. I think sometimes I just need to remember how powerful the love of Jesus is and how easily he can heal.

You are my joy.
