The moment you stepped in the way (the way that you should go) it seemed a joy and hope surged through your veins.  Time kept ticking onward, life continued in its course, but now you had a source from which to draw.  The source of life, Jesus, was there for you each day, drawing you higher, teaching you His ways.  Your thoughts became entwined with His thoughts and became stable, unwavering and reassured.  Peace that caused your heart to rest in the storms of life filled your being with joy in the midst of trials.  There is a resting place where this is found, in Christ Jesus alone.  If this isn't you let me encourage your heart today that it can be and there is help here for you.  We long to see you whole as Christ has intended.  Be encouraged you don't need to stay stuck, you don't need to keep traveling around that same mountain, there are more mountains for you to conquer and you can do that with Joy!
