Boy did this verse jump out at me today! “Glorious, inexpressible joy!” EXACTLY what I have felt this 52 years of loving and trusting You, Lord! Plenty of hard times, but that artesian well of joy still bubbled up in the midst of those troubled times. I think what struck me anew this morning was realizing that Peter wrote these words almost 2000 years ago. That was his experience WAY BACK THEN that absolutely mirrors mine! Replicable results! Time tried, tested and found true! And penned in the midst of horrendous persecution that makes my cancer trek look tame by comparison! What a heart for You, God! Thank You for putting a pen to Peter’s words! They bless me, 2000 years later with assurance that this “glorious, inexpressible joy” is not a product of my own imaginative making, but stands the test of time as a clear cut, cause and effect result of LOVING and TRUSTING You!
