Day 73 of the journey
Held by Joy
Today's stop rests on Nehemiah 8:10. It takes about a minute.
“The joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Nehemiah 8:10
The reflection
Joy is not the absence of trouble. It is the presence of a love that outlasts trouble.
One step forward
Do one small thing today purely because it brings you joy.
A short prayer
Lord, you said it and I want to believe it. Where I can't yet, hold me anyway. Let these words go with me into the rest of today. Amen.
