JOY

As humans, we are physical and moral entities. There is a moral framework by which we live...The beauty of Christianity is that love, the supreme ethic, precedes life...Sometimes pain in it's reality to us is also a reminder to us of what reality is. We are so fearful of pain and at the same time, have eliminated God. Sorrow and pain are part of us. Joy does not mean we have no tears. Joy does not mean we don't have moments of sadness. Joy does not mean we don't have agonies of the soul at times. Joy does mean that God calls me to look at my malady through His eyes, and not look at Him through the eyes of my malady.
-Ravi Zacharias
