This is joy! I don’t mean me, Joy; I mean JOY – the deep-seated state of being that comes from truly knowing who you are and choosing to walk freely in it. This is joy that comes from breaking free from the past, breaking free from what others might say or think, breaking free from fear of failure or foolishness. I’ve said before that to feel deeply is to be fully alive – and that includes the greatest joys as well as the deepest pains. While there is a time to mourn and weep, there is also a time to dance and laugh. It says so right there in the Bible. It’s all part of this abundant life.
