Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:8-9 NIV

Blind love that leads to not only inexpressible joy but also to salvation. That is what our Lord gives. That. Is. Amazing. The joy of the Lord is one of his greatest gifts. I love that it is something that we can relish in here on earth. We don't have to wait. We can experience it now, sometimes we have to look below the surface and look past our daily annoyances to find it but it is there. There is a joy joy joy joy down in my heart. Down in my heart to stay. Find joy. Especially when you lost your phone of keys. Find joy. Even when no one in your class is listening to you. Find joy. When you receive criticism. The joy of the lord is there. Even when you are feeling not good enough to experience it.
