As I sit here looking at the words on the pavement with my wheelchair shadow staring back at me, I can’t help but smile.
When I first became paralyzed, I would not have agreed with this statement. I thought joy would come once I was healed. Joy was a destination I was striving to get to.
I now, full heartedly know that Joy is not a destination. Joy is a byproduct of living in relationship with Jesus.
He helps pick us up when we fall. He gives us rest when we are burdened. He’s our strength when we are weak. He is our perfect peace when things don’t make sense. And because He gave His life for us, we are invited into Heaven at the completion of our earthly journey. Joy is IN our journey because we get to walk/roll/hop/crawl with Jesus by our side.
The God of all creation wants to partner with you IN your journey! All we have to do is invite Him in.
