As Christians, does our pursuit of joy look like everyone else? Is our search just like the world, but with Christ thrown in?
I love the way Marva Dawn uses the word "joy" in her work Being Well When We're Ill.
"I capitalize the word Joy so that you will remember that is does not mean a simple exuberance, happiness, or excitement caused by circumstances. I use the word only when I want to signify that deep, abiding confidence, gratitude, and trust that our ours when are lives are transformed by the truths of the Christian metanarrative (over-arching story), especially the resurrection."
Have you got that kind of joy?
