"When we borrow joy from the future, we become more durable for the present."
"we can also borrow joy from the past"
Thanks Scott for writing out your thoughts/meditation. They are an encouragement to offer up my life for God to use. Many of the ways Jesus lived life I find it easier to avoid. As the most wealthy being, He lived in poverty. As the most precious being, He sacrificed His life for people that have messed up lives. As the most holy being, He associated with what the religious call, "sinners". He so graciously reveals messes in our human lives and by His sacrificial love he woos us to repent and live for Him in relationship with Him...what a God! What a love! May I remember the joy of what God has done in the past and the joy He has put before us to repent of my wrong ways to give Him way in my life and to transform my wrong thinking and my wrong tendencies to His ways.
I love that concept of "borrowing joy" from our past and/or our future hope!
Thank you!
Wonderful. Thank you. I’d like to come hear you preach next time I’m in Nashville....
