The tree must be continuously connected to the source of its nourishment and must receive adequate sunshine. In the same way Joy (and the other fruits) are the natural result of abiding in Christ.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06269406662901556027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988199626499599447.post-29284014311118554032008-09-29T22:32:00.000-05:002008-09-29T22:32:00.000-05:00Greyhound - that gave me chill bumps.

I even become skeptical as to who God really is because I can't always seem to relate to what the Bible tells me his is, and how DO you enjoy Him? But when you equated it to a sedentary person wondering how we enjoy a long run or bike...wow...that really hit me hard. Perhaps I am out of spiritual shape, too.

I think I will write a few of those down to think about over this next week - thank you!! In terms of joy, I do understand your musings, and I too have trouble with seeing how all of these things work together to produce joy in our lives sometimes. Does someone feel joy when they find out they have cancer, of course not, yet they may end Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011877903011515061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988199626499599447.post-38184801760913758842008-09-27T08:00:00.000-05:002008-09-27T08:00:00.000-05:00I am always amused by the fear comments made by bo...I am always amused by the fear comments made by both the religious and non religious. And when I say amused, I don't mean from some kind of superiority mindset, it just simply fascinates me.<BR/><BR/>I think that "the fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom" says exactly what it states!

I am not much for any standard dogma about God and I generally only see the glory of God in a magnificent sunrise or a fabulous vista and I'm not crazy about the idea of finding joy being work but you make a very good point.21stCenturyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02370504811536749950noreply@blogger.com
