don't be afraid | letter 115 on assurance & fighting for joy
don't be afraid of the quiet
don't be afraid of the silence
don't be afraid of the nightthe heavens will rent
perhaps a whisper
perhaps a shoutnever fear
never doubtseek the Lord
seek His faceHe will draw near
His voice will comesparkling light
in dead of nightassurance's kiss

everlasting light will dawnlight unapproachable
approachesthe still divide
He broachespours new wine
true tokenjoy unspeakable
is spokena taste of glory
inexpressiblea glimpse of His face
beautifula delightful inheritance
O, what a lovely place

Simple and beautiful. Thank you.
Beautiful!!

Hi Karen, we all want joy. You know that I like to have fun. It is not as spiritual, but we like to feel good. So far, the joy provided via the Holy Spirit and attached to Jesus is the only Joy Store in town. I loved your flow of words.
Hope you have a very nice evening,
frank

@ANVRSADDAY - Yes, we all want joy, but as you say, the only Joy Store in town, the only true and lasting joy, is that which is found in Christ.
It's a great pleasure for me to be enabled to write of my exceeding Joy.
