"Joy does not simply happen to us. We……" — Henri Nouwen

Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy… - Henri Nouwen
"Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day. It is a choice based on the knowledge that we belong to God and have found in God our refuge and our safety and that nothing, not even death, can take God away from us. Joy is the experience of knowing that you are unconditionally loved and that nothing-sickness, failure, emotional distress, oppression, war, or even death-can take that love away...."
