Joy Challenge - Day 29 - Joy Quotes
"When was the last time you laughed for the sheer joy of your salvation? People are not attracted to somber doctrines. There is no persuasive power in a gloomy and morbid religion. Let the world see your joy and you won't be able to keep them away. To be filled with God is to be filled with joy."

"Where others see but the dawn coming over the hill, I see the soul of God shouting for joy."
William Blake
"Joy is not the absence of suffering. It is the presence of God."
Robert Schuller
"I believe God, through His Spirit, grants us love, joy, and peace no matter what is happening in our lives. As Christians, we shouldn't expect our joy to always feel like happiness, but instead recognize joy as inner security -- a safeness in our life with Christ."
Jill Briscoe
"This is the secret of joy. We shall no longer strive for our own way; but commit ourselves, easily and simply, to God's way, acquiesce in His will, and in so doing find our peace."
Evelyn Underhill
Blessings,
Linda

Linda, you've no idea how much reading these quotes have lifted me up this morning. I was feeling discouraged and God used these for me...thank you!
What wonderful quotes! Like Tammy, I was greatly encouraged as well. Sometimes the clouds move in, but reading truth dispells the them. Thank you so much!

Linda, these are all wonderful quotes and I agree completely. We, as Christians, ought to let our joy shine as brightly as we can and you are a great example of that.
