| I Feel A Little Silly |

4:7 Lord, you have put joy in my heart, more than they have when their grain and their wine are increased.
Two kinds of joy are contrasted here—inward joy that comes from knowing and trusting God and happiness that comes as a result of pleasant circumstances. Inward joy is steady as long as we trust God; happiness is unpredictable. Inward joy defeats discouragement; happiness covers it up. Inward joy is lasting; happiness is temporary.
Why do I feel silly? Because I deleted my own blog entry yesterday. (I Feel Like A Brand New Person) Ooops!! So, this scripture sums up what I said yesterday. Joy in my heart for the new relationships, deeper relationships, hope, faith, and commitment that you have all poured out to me and others through this building campaign. I really feel God working in my heart, and in this church. Love you all, Brandi |
